Sound Level Readings: The Master List

This is the BIG ONE, aka the Master List! Here are ALL the sound level readings (dB) Car Confections has ever collected throughout the years! Click to find out what vehicles are the quietest in the world, the loudest vehicles you can buy, and then rank everything in between from quietest to loudest! Will the best options be ultra-luxury models like the Mercedes S-Class? Or will it be an electric vehicle, like the Rivian R1S? What are the quietest mainstream vehicles? What are the loudest vehicles? Find out the answers to those questions and more with our sortable Sound Level Readings Master List! Enjoy!

For the methodology of our tests, we test every car at a consistent 55 MPH under similar weather and road conditions. If a vehicle does not conform to these conditions, or it wasn’t tested in our home state of Kentucky, it will be clarified in the “Special Notes” column.

Please note, we cannot control the conditions for which we review a car in, given how many cars we review each year. However, we go to great lengths to make sure the Sound Level Reading is consistent and accurate.

have you measured the noise level of the new Prius? there is no data. thanks
- Josh Dunkelberger on August 2, 2023 at 9:33 am
  
  We have measured it, please refer to the Compact Cars List, where we have measured the Prime model
JeffK on July 10, 2024 at 1:25 pm

What is the testing methodology you use? I.e. what speed are your tests done at? All on same road – asphalt, concrete?
- Josh Dunkelberger on July 11, 2024 at 3:37 pm
  
  Hello! We have updated this information at the top of the page now. All of our official tests are done on Kentucky Asphalt at 55 MPH

This page doesn’t make mention of the speed this is recorded at or any standards of how this data is collected. Can you elaborate?
- Josh Dunkelberger on July 11, 2024 at 3:38 pm
  
  Hello! We have updated this information at the top of the page now. We collect all readings with a decibel reader at 55 MPH during every review.

Great work for car comparison! Though, I usually drive at 70mph on highways. How much of a dB increase should I expect on top of the values listed here? Would that depend highly on the car model?
- Josh Dunkelberger on December 13, 2024 at 11:30 am
  
  Thank you for the support! We are glad you find our data useful. The increase at 70 MPH should correlate to these numbers here, so the quieter the model at 55, the same goes for 70. To see a general guideline for what that increase might be, please refer to the Sound Level Test here: https://youtu.be/ImdH4iaKz3A Hope this helps!

Well done. Thank you.

  You’re very welcome! Thank you for the support!

Thank you for doing this. It really helps me in my car buying. A loud cabin is a big nuisance for me so I appreciate this list.
