Not the car for me... 2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons NCDurmguy This car is deafening. I am constantly amazed at how high the volume needs to be on my radio to hear it over the awful wind and road noise. I took the time to replace the stock tires at 30k with the lowest-noise tires I could find at the Rack.... |

2014 Mazda3 - Mazda adds up-market refinement. It works. 2014 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons acetech09 Another word about quietness. This car is refined and eerily quiet. That definitely shows some effort on Mazda's part - and it works well. |
2014 Mazda3 s Grand Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The cars that ride more smoothly than the Mazda3 also ride more quietly. Though far from loud (that would be my 2003 Mazda Protege5), noise levels are noticeably higher than the segment average. But this segment average is well below where it was just a few years ago. So anyone... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Ford Focus |

Mazda 3 as good as the reviews, one of the best economy cars. 2013 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4849 Could be quieter but an improvement over previous Mazda Protege I owned for 16 years. |
|
2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5872 Quieter than a lot of econoboxes, but it could be much much better. I would pay for an option of extra soundproofing if it was available. |

Quite happy with 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv 2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5483 It's a small car and get's noisy on the road... I don't really think it is more or less than other cars in this class, though. |

Best value for money in 2010 Small Car Segment 2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons skierdad The cabin is quite noisy and there can be significant wind noise when driving on the highway. |

2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1524 There was a relatively high level of cabin noise when driving at higher speeds. |

2013 Ford Focus ST Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The 2012 Focus blew me away by offering the quietness, smoothness, and rock-solid build typical of a $50,000 German car at less than half the price. None of this has been lost in the transformation to the high-performance ST. At 85, the car sounds and feels like it's barely moving.... Comparison vehicle: 2010 Mazda Mazda3 |

2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5577 This is not a luxury car, nor is trying to be. However, the road noise is a bit more than other cars in the class and due to design of the engine around efficiency, it can be loud at times. Music at a moderate volume is enough to... |

2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1348 The extra gear, less power train noise and additional sound dampening really help make it a good daily driver. |

2011 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons vtbassmatt Good handling = less weight = no noise isolation. Or so I assume the equation goes. |

2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4667 Not much insulation from road noise - can be annoying at highway speeds. |
|
2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member3316 When driving on dirty roads you can well hear the rocks hitting the car from the tires. They could have used some more sound isolation. |
|
2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4320 The Mazda3 has a fair bit of wind noise, and road noise. I had attempted to change tires but did not find a decrease in the amount of sound generated in the cabin. I suspect the Mazda3 does not have sufficient sound deadening. |

2009 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States i can hear the engine whine and a bit of a rattle (top be fair, i am not sure is the car or things i have in the car). |

2007 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Anonymous the stock tires are terrible, i had to replace them at 15k miles because the humming was so loud i would get a headache after a couple minutes on the interstate. With new tires the problem was fixed. |
