Default What's all this about "road noise?"

Consumer Reports sees (hears) road noise as a "low" for the Accords. Is there anything to this? Is it noticeable when compared, say, with the Camry, which is known for it's quiet ride.

One would have to ride in a Camry , for instance to be able to intelligently even think of answering that question !

Hmm. That's a bit cryptic.

Oh, I see. Actually, the camry got high marks for not having road noise.

Generally, I just wondered if the road noise was really an issue, or if CR was just being picky.

Ever been in a Lexus? To me it defines no road noise. I'm pleased with my Accord other than the Michelins which are noisy to me.

no one knows road noise untill they have ridden in my accord, no back seat allows you to hear everything, including the gas sloshing around, my solution is just turn the stereo up, loud exhaust, and dynamat.
