Why dont cars have cabin noise ratings?
Tires have noise ratings
if you can record something as varaible as MPG for an engine, noise in a cabin is definitely possible
I dont see why there can't be a standardised test at say 30mph and 70mpg for noise inside a car
There could be a test in a room, to measure engine noise, then a test on a standardised road to account for wind noise.
Maybe I'm getting old / boring, but how quiet a car is on a cruise is as important as things like the suspension, mpg etc.
