C&D 70-mph DB level:
2013 FR-S (with Primacy's): 71 db
2012 Cayman S: 74 db
2022 VW GTI: 74 db
2022 GR86/BRZ (with MPS4): 76 db
ND Miata ST: 80 db
If you intend to drive it on quiet tiers like the Primacy's or all-seasons, it'll be fine. Not exactly quiet, but way less noisy and less rattly than my friend's stock AP2, for example.

Yeah that's what I figured, thanks for the objective data. I'll probably get the hankook v4 then, I really liked those, nice progressive grip, cheap, and quiet.
