It was in my back-yard. There was an un-marked car lurking in my back-yard. No citations were issued. I did get a ricer fly-by from him with his lights on, though.

I have test driven a few and only on one test drive did it seem noisy but it was never loud enough to bother me.

If you want quiet and a Buick

the 2009 model only has 6 speakers, and the two in the back are useless, blocked by the seats and overpowered with rear tire noise. the 2010 could be better, I think it has 8 spkrs. Best option is to just upgrade the sound system. The interior noise is what I consider very high, but it depends A LOT on the surface you are driving on. It's also possible that different tires could reduce the noise significantly.

I have driven the Z to ZdayZ, last weekend to W. Virginia and other long drives.

The noise level is nothing especially with my F.I. CBE which is music to my ears.

dynamat is your friend.

i was kinda amazed how quiet the cabin was with the windows rolled up. i usually drive with the driver side window down so... but ofcourse my kyoto muffler is pretty noisy with is nice dry tone. i can hear my stereo just fine.

Even I am beginning to get tired of the noise question. Check out the "Cabin Noise" thread in this section, it should answer most of your questions.

You'll need to test drive - a symphonic hall these Z's ain't, and if you're used to Lexus-quiet interiors, you'll be disappointed.

I'm a fan of all types of music (wife even got me into country), but trying to listen to classical music in the Z is not the best thing to do.
