You despise your Yaris, so you joined a forum for Yaris enthusiasts?! Well, uh, welcome to the forum...

Yeah, that was a little off topic... now where was I?

Back to the OP's question:

I'd say that the Yaris is relatively quiet compared to other small cars that I've been in or driven. I mean, if you are in traffic with the air and radio off you can barely hear the engine running. Once you get up to highway speeds, I notice road noise from the wheels a bit and the hum of the engine. The only time I notice that it is noisy is when I'm flooring it, and well, I don't mind that too much...
