As an alternate solution, I suppose one could always drown out the noise by listening to high quality audio from a ML sound system!

Hello! I had a 13 ES that drove beautifully and 6 months ago bought a beautiful new 2022 ESUL. I’ve noticed quite a bit of susceptibility to wind at highway speeds 70-80mph. It seems any wind will cause quite a bit of deviation requiring correction. There’s also quite a bit more wind noise than in my 13. Is all that normal for the 22? I took it to the dealer and in grand dealer tradition they found no drivability or noise issues. I am however quite discerning (read picky af).
did ask a mechanic on this.. his take was the following
> The engine is super quiet and interior is built like fighter plane ( hah ah aha) he meant it is super well build.
> The Chassis and body is better ie more rigid and lighter
the negative effect of this out side noise tends to enter or be noticed. I had a earlier ES300 2003 and it was like a library but Chassis was molly polly, heavier and engine was no where as quiet this current gen ( i have ES 350 Sport) So essentially there less things to absorb road noise.
now i used mis sound readers and the ES 350 F sport with it;s large 19 inch wheels and noise Dunlops give 67 DB sound reading... that is still quiet.
