Yes, I'm sure about the noise. My buddy and I both commented about it. He's drivin many Boxsters, and ridden in mine, and he's had other convertibles, as well as a '99 996.

The Cayman was pretty noisy inside. If not LOUDER than my Box, it was at least AS loud!

That was the only disappointment I felt about it. A little sound deadening, and it would be very nice for a daily drivable car.

I think the 19" wheels contribute to the noise... maybe 18"s (with a little more sidewall) would deaden the sound a little. It also had PASM, maybe goofing around with that might soften it up and make daily driving more pleasant.
