I purchased an XC60 T5 but am very disappointed with the amount of engine noise in the cabin. The demo car did not seem to have that much noise, and the dealer has tried numerous things but not been able to help.

I was curious; what are people's noise readings at idle. After the car is warm I get between 47db-48db at idle if I read the meter from the drivers seat right in front of my face. What are others getting? According to this website...

Even the D4 at idle should be around 43db.

Thanks

They are noisy! My biggest gripe about this car is the engine is noisy at idle and upon acceleration. The window glass is also thin as you hear everything around you. Perhaps these are some reasons why people are not buying the XC60. September sales numbers are abysmal (-33.9%).
