Any interior dB readings for 2020?

Seems pretty quiet to me. :)

Oh, you meant while it was moving. :D
 
I’m considering a Model 3 for my next car. Love many aspects, but read a lot about interior noise complaints. I know there were reports of improved sound starting from last October production, but I have not been able to find any updated dB readings for newer cars. Has anyone tested the dB of the interior since the update? I will try to do this myself once I’m able to test drive again once the COVID-19 situation settles down.

Thanks
You definitely hear the road more but that’s mostly because there’s no engine noise to down it out. Also this is built to be a true sports sedan vs a Lexus or Genesis.

What car do you own that makes engine noise cruising down the freeway? I have owned a lot of ICE cars, and unless it was a sports car with an aftermarket louder exhaust, you couldn’t hear the engine at normal cruise.

Try this in the gap at the A-pillar/fenders: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NHL17BC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I stuffed it in those spots and it seems to reduce some wind noise at 70+mph. My 2020 is quiet with the exception of wind noise around the top of the windshield at 70+mph. I did install that tubing at the glass gap at the top but it flew off a few days after installation.
I just bought the same Tesla and I'm also getting 85db on rough surfaces. It's a major drag. I just spent $1400 on Hankook tires and no real difference. Do you still own your Tesla? Or did the road noise become unbearable?
