all cars get louder as they get older. wear on tires, seals, suspension, engine mounts, etc. all contribute to more noise. all can be reversed/improved, all it takes is $

Even without repairing or replacing parts, warm (especially hot) weather also helps, for reasons which I explained earlier.

How many of them have you had? I've had 6, all from new, two of which I had upwards of 200k miles, altogether I've probably put close to 600,000 miles on Lexus sedans...so I think I've got you beat on the experience front.

Huh? Why does an S550 have 450hp?

Pffft. Arguing with arguers to out-argue the arguer usually results in a series of off-topic nonsensical replies... which is where this thread is now stuck in.

600K miles. Guess you have spent a lot on Lexus vehicles and learned... how to own Lexus vehicles.

Have you driven for decades? Chevy? Pontiac? Imports? Huge motor-coaches? Or flown Cessna 152/172/340? I'll tell you about noise.

You don't have anybody beat on any experience front other than spending your time on this forum arguing. Enjoy the "clatter" of your brand new LS. It's been nice buddy.
