at a gentler pace the S1 is among the calmer,

Tire drone and
wind noise do get a bit
more pronounced on rougher roads and
at higher speeds, but overall isolation levels are livable if not best - in - class.

more hard plastic than Walmart's kitchenware department.
Likewise, whilst there is a bit of tire roar if you go for a
more off - road - centric variant, the GMC Sierra is also quite the quiet truck
at speed, with
wind noise in particular being very well suppressed.
Not only do many vehicles in this segment suffer from the same problem, but the
noise insulation in other areas is
more cohesively suppressed — with the lack of
wind noise at highway speeds being worthy of note.
Whilst we don't feel those aspects are quite up to the standards set by the Mercedes - Benz C - Class Coupe, the Infiniti Q60 does nevertheless do an admirable job
at isolating the driver and passengers from intrusions like
wind noise, tire roar and the
more severe lumps and bumps in the road surface.

at highway speeds in the SFE, as in the other Fiestas, and it didn't take much throttle input for the hatch to move around with much
more powerful cars on the road.
At high speeds,
wind noise is less intrusive in the Mazda3 sedan than in the hatch, thanks to the former model's
more aerodynamic shape.
Well,
at least on these CX - 5 prototypes, there was

I accept that
noise at a level that could cause physical harm would constitute «pollution» but given that
wind turbine
noise is
more of a small background hum
at distance of about 400m, that falls far short of a reasonable threshhold for measurable harm.
The level of background
noise at distances of a kilometre or
more from
wind turbines makes measuring the effect of sound from
wind turbines on people
at such distances complicated.
It is unlikely that substantial
wind farm
noise would be heard
at distances of
more than 500-1500 m from
wind farms.
