The normal road noise does not bug me in the least bit, just that damn metallic howling sound because it is so unnatural.

If you look at the TRD Japan GR86 accessories page, there are dampers that replace the strut braces in the engine bay. The description says it reduces noise. I wonder if the braces are directly transmitting resonant noise from the strut towers, and whether these dampers address a known issue.
