Hi Trent, As I have mentioned earlier, I have previously owned a 2008 ZR6 and have also driven many 2010 SR6s - all extremely quiet and very comfortable. The issue is with the 50 series.

Hi Matt, Thank you for the comments. As I have mentioned earlier, I have previously owned a 2008 ZR6 and have also driven many 2010 SR6s - all extremely quiet, so I can't see why sports handling and NVH can't go together. Toyota has stuffed up on the 50 series - just have to find out where.

I have had everything checked out - alignment is ok. As I mentioned earlier,it is will all the Sportivos that I have driven in the 50 series. learning to live with the noise for the time being. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution soon.

I talked to a senior tech at my local Toyota and he said that it is due to the sports suspension. He said that even in the new Camry's with the optional sports suspension upgrade, the noise is there.

Hi Tony, I spend about 6 hours a day on the road and I really like the ZR6 - except for the road noise, it is excessive. When I talk to my customers via the bluetooth, they can hardly hear me due to the noise. Mine is a stock standard - not lowered or any other changes except for the sound deadening.

Hi - it is the road / tyre noise. I have had a 2008 ZR6 and a 2012 Prodigy - both super quiet. Have tried 3 different sets / types of tyres - but not much luck. Have driven a few 2013 / 2014 ZR6s and they are noisy as well. Drove the latest Holden SV6 recently and it was super quiet as well.

HI Matt, I can't see it in mine. I know the 2008 one did. Which model and year is yours?
-
Matt36415 - I would be interested to get some feedback once you have tested it out. I have spent almost $3500 and still no luck. I have attached some pictures after the first sound deadening. This made no difference. I then had the wheel arches does as well - made about 5% difference. They are great cars but the road noise is too much. A tech at toyota told me that it is due to the sports suspension - not too sure about this. My first 2008 ZR6 Sportivo was super quiet.

I have some sound deadening material that I want installed in the car. Do you know anyone in Brisbane who can do it - the seats will have to be removed. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321777305401 Thanks.

Thanks mg85 - are you able to upload some pics if possible. Interested in seeing how you did it.

Hi 07Prodigy, Just checking if you have had any luck. I am really frustrated with this Aurion road noise. Thinking for dumping it and going back to Holdens.

Hi Brian G. I don't know which material he used but it took him just under an hour.

Just to update you all. I have rented / driven a lot of cars over the past years and the new batch of Aurions are the nosiest that I have come across. I have changed 2 sets of tyres. I got sound deadening done at Northfield Car sound but it made very little difference to the car. They did all 4 doors, roof, boot and the floor. Then my brother did the front drivers side wheel arch - made a huge difference. We will soon be doing the front left - will keep you updated.

Hi Robboszr6. Thanks for the feedback. I ordered a full set of Michelin primacy 3 st last week and will be installed on Monday. What size did you get. I am tossing up between 225/55R17 and 215/55R17. I have been told that the 225 will give a harder riding as it has a higher load rating (101) compared to 94 load rating of the 215/55/R17
