I wouldn't count on it. It's pretty well sealed against wind noise, but engine and road noise are relatively unimpeded on their way into the cabin. Of course, that's not entirely a bad thing (the engine noise is glorious), but it definitely isn't anywhere close to as quiet as, say, a German (or Lexus) sedan.
(In many ways, the Cayman is like an FR-S/BRZ/86 made with twice the budget - things like noise insulation and creature comforts were definitely sacrificed for things like chassis stiffness and lightness, but due to the higher budget, it ended up with a larger mid engine, a stiffer chassis, fatter tires, and bigger brakes. Power seats were not standard, and the same is true of xenon headlights and a nav system. On a $60k German car. That right there says something about the design goals, if you ask me...)
