Hopefully they are wrong. Again, all subjective.

Well something seems off here. I drove that WRX 1 mile down the road and it was enough after being in the S3 and M235 the day before. It felt like a tin can compared to the German sports sedans.
Yet it tests out quieter than the M2?? The thing is the 1M I drove didn't seem loud to me. Decibels are a logarithmic measurement and a few can make a big difference.
Makes me think they tested the M2 in Sport Mode. It shouldn't be louder than a WRX.
Here's the test sheet on the WRX:

Edit: Just read the M2 spec sheet again and it does look like it's been tested in sport mode. I'm assuming they would run the whole test in one mode. Would that make a big difference in cabin noise at 70?
