Not bad, actually. Its not a Camry, or even a Prius, however in the quietness factor. But nothing the nice Radio 10 doesn't help mask. Most of the freeway noise is from the engine, not the road.
The sound most noticeable to me is air going over the top. All my highway time has been solo so can't comment about conversing at 75 the radio was very listenable at that speed. Classical mood that day. nice presence

I must have gotten a noisy one. It's very loud in almost every environment. I'm seriously considering installing sound attenuation material. Turning up the radio volume is not the answer for me. That's just tiring.
On my passion coupe, I have a wind whistle (pretty noticable) around 50 to 60mph. It has been there since day one. I have not isolated whether it is from the passenger window or actually from the top of the windshield. The passenger window looks like it is sealing fine. I have spoke to my dealer about it and they said they would take a look at it when I come back. Don't know when that will be since they are 326 miles away. I have already been in a light rain but have noticed no leaks. I intend to take a water hose to it to check for sure when the weather gets a little warmer.
I have noticed how on the smart the windshield does not have any rubber seal around it, so it has an open groove around it. I don't know if this has an inherent whistle to it or not. I have not heard of anyone else speak of it though.

a lincoln town car it isn't. what type of car are you acustomed to?
the "wind" noise in my car is more a whooshing that a whistle

I'm use to small (inexpensive) cars. My passion coupe is not much more noisy than any other car I've owned. I do hear the wind, and some engine harmonics at certain speeds, but it is quite acceptable. It is not a C Class Mercedes.
