Compact Car
It is a compact car, not a full size vehicle, so the noise will be greater. Given that fact I think it is a relative quiet compact vehicle! I also drive 80+ mph to work every day and I listen to talk radio in the am hours for traffic report and the road noise doesn’t bother me at all.

The biggest noise comes from running in the grooves in the Freeway made by all the studded tires folks feel are necessary up here.
My '66 VW Bug was mucho louder when it too was new in 1966. Talk about valve noise! And, they had no A/C so you had the windows open going down the FWY in the CA summers at 70MPH. I don't think we could even listen to the rather basic, single-speaker radio in those situations. FYI: The '66 had the new 40HP engine vs. the previous 36HP model.
