    I agree that it is noisy. Mostly on harsh roads. The road noise is what bothers me most (along with the rattles).

    does anybody elses car suck when you hit a pot hole? i feel like the cars going to break in half. i have the red edition scion and its low to the ground but i never thought it would be this noisy. another thing... try turning your radio up to about 49 with the bass up all the way... then to 50... the bass is gone... im really satisfied with my bazooka system but i mean it is called "bazooka" so im obviously gona turn it up high. im not sure if im totally satisfied with the tc jus yet. but then again it is cincinnati and the roads are never re-done.

    Maybe I'm just lucky, but my car's all but silent. The only noise I get is the slight hum of my 18" drag radials.

    prolly depends on personal preference. i think it has alot of road noise too. hey, u get what you pay for. but i think that the tc is worth way more then they are selling it for. road noise is just one of those things you gotta deal with for the tc. you can always add more insulation to try to block out a little more road noise.

    yah, the tc is well insulated. ever took apart the interior carpet and panels? thers a LOT of insulation in there. road noise is probably due to the tires and having stock 17" rims. just find quieter tires. or u can go to home depot or lowes and buy the insulation stuff they use with carpet. i believe its called "jute".

    my RSX needs some insulation, its loud as ****.

    i agree that when driving it in harsh roads there tends to be some loud road noise..not all the streets in chicago are the greatest because of all the salt in the winters and they never finish road construction on time for it to be smooth...
