I added a TRD exhaust.

I've read this in a lot of places, but I don't notice it. I prolly haven't ridden in enough luxury cars to notice.

I read about this car having a lot of noise too, but haven't noticed it either. On the highway, it's probably quieter than the car I traded in.
There's some normal tire noise...I'm driving the original rims with original Dunlop Sport 5000s, I haven't noticed any whistling or other wind noise.

Someone with access to a sound level meter ought to take some readings in a few different cars to see if noise is a real issue or not.
