Interior sound level (i.e., road noise)?
Does anyone know where to find the interior noise levels for the 8 (and other cars)? I've searched the forums and internet in general and cannot find anything. Do any of the car reviewers/magazines still post numbers for idle, max. accelleration, and cruising at 60?
I've been lurking and reading for a while and I'm sure the 8 will be more than quiet enough but I'm just looking to quantify it.

I have very sensitive hearing and I find the RX-8 subjectively quiet, especially for a sports car. Of course, nowhere as quiet as a Camry, Lexus or other sedan. I paid attention to the dB number before I bought my RX: the RX had one of the quietest cabins among small sports cars. If I recall correctly, the G35 was a tad quieter and the Z-350 was a bit noiser.
The RX-8 puts out a raspy sound during acceleration, as a sports car should, but it's quiet during cruise especially on asphalt. A quiet cruise is important on long rides.
When I have new speakers and a subwoofer installed I might have extra sound insulation like dynamat applied.
