My last car was a g37s coupe. I did not find this car uncomfortably loud.
G37: Sound level
@ idle (dB) 42.6
@ Full throttle (dB) 77.6
@ 70 mph cruise (dB) 68.3

At cruise I think I can live with 4db higher. But based on psycho acoustics, at wot, it will be perceived as more than 2x louder!! Wow.
But this is perfect imo. Somewhat civil st cruise relatively speaking (I had no trouble using hands free for calls). But if I'm driving at wot, it's probably because I'm having some fun so I want it loud!
