Not exact but I can say my 20 is quieter than my 19. Lots of threads here discussing this topic. FWIW the rear wheel liners are different and the window seals are stiffer. I recently installed rubber tubing at the bottom of the A-pillar after reading a thread about it where a sponge was being used. I do hear a slight reduction in wind noise from that area over 70mph.
I have a 2020, used to drive a Subaru and routinely drive a merc glk as well
2020 model is quiet. Wind noise above 120km/hr is pretty loud, but the a pillar fix solved it. I stuffed memory foam material from my old mattress topper there.
only noise left is upper a pillar, which is pretty quiet actually, and suspension noise. suspension noise is majority of the noise now. Maybe I’ll lower the tire pressure a bit when it’s summer.

Indeed. I'll most likely be installing some Bridgestone Quiet Track rubber when it's time for tires. I'll provide a review of them after some mileage build-up.
wow. M3p. I wish I have that. but yea. I heard the 20” can be noisy.
my wife’s glk has 20” too. With Pirelli p zero tires. her car doesn’t have any tire noise at all though. I guess the 3 cheaper out at the wheel well sound deadening.
