I know r3v hates surveys, but I'm working on a project for a class at Purdue regarding noise in small cars and coming up with a way to solve the problems. It's not a very long survey, and should only take a few seconds. Thanks!

also... you realize the best way to kill exhaust sound is to add a turbocharger, right?
and V & H can all be mitigated with softer bushings. we usually go with harder, if not solid, bushings. not the other way around.
the prius forum could probably help though.AWD > RWDComment

Compared to real cars modern cars are already like driving around in a sound booth, with as much insulation they got now, and people still think there too loud? fucking waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless.Comment

I took the quiz with my 85 Jetta in mind. Pretty much the loudest thing you can drive as far as road noise/squeaks/rattles/wind noise is concerned. And then I have sport suspension and a loud exhaust, so...Comment

Small car, for the purpose of the project, is anything smaller than an Accord. Which I think is pretty midsize, but what the hell.
And about the turbo comment. That's the route I took. No regrets there. The other people in my group drive an Aveo and an Escape 4 cylinder, both automatics. 'nuff said.
Also, Kershaw started doing this already, but if anyone has any tips they would like to share that would be an aftermarket-installed method of reducing any kind of NVH, feel free to post it. I'll even give you a giant cookie.
