Did anyone measure the cabin noise level?

6 cylinder sounds like music. 4 cylinder sounds like noise. So that's why the 6 feels quieter.

I just got through doing the test drive on 2024 RX 350 Premium and found it to be quite noisy and almost same level of noisy as 2024 Grand Highlander that I test
drove just 1 hour earlier. My last two vehicle is LS 460 and S550 which is much quieter.

I recently got a RX500h with pano roof and have the same complaint. With all the tech, comfort and workmanship on the vehicle, the level of noise after around 60mph just does not match.
Were you able to resolve the issue with another dealer?
I will take mine to the dealer tomorrow and see what they have to say.

No, I believe we just got used to it and with putting more miles on the tires, the noise is less. Hopefully, your dealer can figure something out!

Hello everyone,
I just picked my 2023 RX350h Premium+ with pano roof and 21” Bridgestone tires (no roof racks) on January 28th 2023 . IT IS Extremely LOUD ! For the car which cost $65k with taxes it can not be like this. First of all if you drive on highway over 55 mph and it’s little windy it’s extremely loud and that’s not because of pano roof , I think it’s bad shape of those two rails on top of the roof . Never thought that fuel engine will be that loud when it start and works on hybrid model . And the third thing which disappointed me when you drive more than 70-75 mph it’s barely make 25 MPG not even close for what manufacturer said of 34 MPG . It’s comfortable and has lots of futures but if I new upfront that it is that loud I would never buy hybrid. Overall great car but NOISE. It’s super slow on start by the way.
Have a great day everyone.

If the dealer doesn't find anything, then I would check all of the door seals sticking newspaper between the door seals and the frame of the vehicle, then pull on the newspaper to make sure there's some resistance, and that the paper doesn't pull easily.
I've also watched a reviewer on youtube measure the db level and he came out with a reading of 55 db at highway speed.

I am measuring 10-15dB higher than what is declared on youtube videos. I switched to this car from a Maserati Levante, which was actually quiter with its frameless doors. Really confused here.

Seems odd that switching from recirculating to fresh air would double the interior noise level. I would expect recirculating to be louder than fresh, but not twice as loud either.
