I have also read reviews that state there is plenty of wind noise, it is very common on these cars, and one of the biggest consumer complaints from cars in general.
Also, most people that want this car want the noise, otherwise I can't imagine any of them purchasing an exhaust system or intake for the "added HP" because there simply isn't enough gain to compensate for the added noise. In other words, most people that do these mods want the noise, or they simply believe the added noise = more performance.

I definitely agree with andcas7's logic. You can't get a light weight sports car and expect it to insulate you from sound the same way a luxury sedan does. It'd be like buying an Aston Martin and wondering why it doesn't shoot missiles and turn into a boat when you're close to water.
The BRZ is designed for one purpose, balance and back to basics sports car fun. Which, according to most of the reviews I've seen, it achieves in spades.
