Car is noisy on freeway compare to others like a 2.0 or 2.5L cars, is the engine that roars and i guess insulation isnt the best. But you will get used to it so it's not a problem

When you are in the highest gear(AT) at 50mph, rpm is about 2300, at 60mph is about 2900, and 70mph is about 3200, redline 6300

I think MT has different gear ratio so the numbers would be different.

Actually the numbers I think are about the same. Going 110kph which is roughly.. 70mph it's just a hair over 3000

EDIT: oh wait this kid is Canadian.

Okay well going 50-60kph you're looking at 2800+/- rpm. I usually shift into 4th for overdrive at that speed. The highway noie is there, but I hardly ever notice because I play music. There are thigns you can do like spraying sound insulating foam (sometimes referred to as tar foam) in the wheel wells. I've yet to try the foam bit myself but am looking into it.
