How quiet is the S2000?

Not terribly loud. It's not at all annoying on the highway. If you drive at speed (>90kmh..) for more than about half an hour, put the windows up or your eyeballs will dry out.

S2K is really noisy (not loud)
There is a lot of wind and road noise. Also, the fact that you are sitting so close to the rear wheels also makes things worse.

It's not that i'm looking for a quiet comfortable car. I was just wondering if the noise was bearable if i was driving for a while at highway speeds. I dont mind the noise driving on the local roads. But was curious if i took the car onto the highway. Would it require ear plugs?

I do a lot of freeway driving but yeah....you'd get a little more tired in the S than say a Lexus or Benz. Its more noisier, you sit much lower in the car, there is less room, and the suspension is stiffer.
