It would be ridiculous to rate the sound level having plugged it and not mention it, so therefore it is not plugged according to behavioral science probability.
It is more quiet than most cars in the 24-28k dollar range. I did tests with a bunch of 2017 cars on test drives and recorded objective results.

sound tube is removed and plugged. also installed underbody panels. I understand what the car is and realize it has zero sound deadening. I have driven new civics and a ford focus and they are noticeable quieter. Although I have not driven any other low cost comparable sports cars. So I can't really say if it's worse or better. Thats not the point.
But to say it's a quiet car. no way. lots of road noise. It a noisy car. that's the point.
I'm hoping different tires will make a difference at some point. I'm still running the oem's.
At 70-80 mph highway speed, the sound level is deafening. Especially on concrete highways. Hands free is useless and you need to crank the tunes up pretty high to drown it out. And I'm older and my hearing is already on the way out. LOL
