Add sound deadening mat, turn up the stereo, or get some studded tires. Then take them off, it will sound quiet in comparison. Just saying that it is fairly quiet stock. The car is 88db. My s2000 was 96db stock...
Low rolling resistance tires are extremely noisy!!! It is easy to spend 80 a tire and get more grip and very quiet. The lrr tires are like using plastic wheels.
