It may not be so much an "age" thing as it is a current state of automotive affairs thing. Since the early 90s cars have got more and more luxurious at lower and lower trim levels just to try to compete. Even the lowest and cheapest trim levels now have so many goodies (and yes that includes soundproofing) that you take one or two of those things away and all of a sudden people are complaining.
Anybody that ever drove a base level 1960s-70s Dart will know exactly what I mean.
