to me.. it's only noisy when the wind is pretty bad... but by then, i'm paying more attention to keeping the xB on the road than the outside noise..... Its a very quiet car and you would probably hear wind/tires before you hear your intake... i think..

When I test drove it one the highway, I was impressed. It is alot better than my mom Nissan Quest (that should say something)..

I am riding with the AEM CAI and the TRD Sport Muffler. It is definetly louder at high speeds. You really have to appreciate the sound of the engine or you may find it a bit much. It was a little loud for me at first but now, I dig the sound. It really seemed almost as loud when it was stock anyway. From my experience, TOYOTA engines are a lot more bassy than the buzzy higher pitched civic engines. I used to drive a CIVIC and it was a lot quiter, but it ddn't sound as growly. This engine's about as fast and sounds much better.

I found the sound of the engine was pretty noticable even on the test drive. But, I liked that about the car. It had personality.

I notice the sound proofing is good. When I have the stereo on Feel Mode and at about 50 I hear nothing but music
