On certain roads a bit of tire noise is heard, but passing traffic is nearly silent. Sorry about your issues, I would be massively unhappy with buying a $120k car and having your experience.

Thank you. I am massively unhappy. I only drive the 560 every couple of weeks but each time I do, I’m shocked back into the reality that something really is wrong with this car. It’s like I keep thinking it won’t be as annoying as I thought. It is. And the reality that Mercedes is not willing to acknowledge the problem and correct it.
Guess I will chat with a lemon law atty. Not sure how easy it will be to prevail on this noise isolation defect vs. an obvious physical / mechanical defect.

Certainty a minuscule problem compared to basically everything else these days, but just so annoying.
