just the way the car is. i am sure they could make it quiet, add > weight and cost.

when i ride (motorcycle) into work i wear a set of custom ear plugs with a helmet. consider these with sound drivers in them, they sound great.

the s2000 is anoying if i get a cell phone call.

i know you enjoy topless driving but seriously get a 4door w/ less noise. you don't tell us how old you are but at the rate you'll go completely DEAF soon.

Thanks ImportSport!! I remember reading that thread the 1st time around, great work! I now wear earplugs on any hwy trip over an hour or so, they really do reduce fatigue on longer trips... A MUST for single exhaust owners.

(And no, I'm not switching to a 4-door sedan ProV1, thanks for your concern I have a couple of good years left)

I know this is illegal, but I put on my ipod head phones and listen to music that way. It cuts down on the wind noise, and the music is at a better quality at a lower volume.
