LOL...you actually went and tested. I like how people keep moving the goalposts...you show that noise is not high in the plugins and hybrids (with actual measurable data), and suddenly it's about something else.
We know BEV people here might not go back to hybrids (HEV/PHEV) or def ICE. That's fine, you do you. But no need to try to push down other people's cars with anecdotal data about how bad they are, when we've actually been driving the things forever and know what their negatives and positives are - just as I hope you know what the positives and negatives are for your vehicles![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

And again, are you just going to ignore the multiple times I have explained that the engine has very little to do with the overall interior noise of a car at 75 MPH?

Are you co-signing my 4 cylinders are louder than my V8s? Seeing I have both I can put it to rest with a test. 😁

Like I said, at highway speeds the engine is not what is driving interior noise, so before I tell you that I have to know what kinds of cars we are talking about
What app did you use? I will download it and post the interior noise levels according to that app in my cars

Its not subjective when you can compare the noise levels of various cars. 62 dB is quieter than 71 dB. You may be happy with a car that loud but that doesn't mean it isn't louder than other cars.

We got here because others have stated MY 4 cylinders are louder than MY V8s.
The conversation has since shifted to multiple different angles like acceleration, powerful, drony, smooth, etc.

Of those cars the LX and the Tundra are going to be the quietest, followed by the Rav 4s and then the Prius. What is an FK8?

I actually had to go back and see what’s the title of this thread🤣. I think my 1st post on the matter was I don’t get it in reference on how the prime is the most green vehicle.

You sir are taking this way to serious and personal. I just stated MY observation from the vehicles I own. You made a general statement about 4 cylinders and V8s and I so happen own both.

I downloaded the Decibel X app and went out and got a reading in the Pacifica, I was going to do both it and the S560 but it started to rain, so the reading with the S560 wouldn't have any value.
This is a 75 MPH cruise
