Noisy ride
honestly i had the same exact issue with my lexus and it drove me crazy because you expect these cars to be silent but the road noise was just way too much for me what ended up fixing it was getting rid of those stiff run-flat tires and switching over to a set of quiet-rated grand touring tires because the difference was literally night and day
i also noticed that these cars can be really sensitive to the type of pavement you're on so if you're hearing a lot of wind or road drone i'd definitely check your weatherstripping around the doors because sometimes they get a little dry and don't seal like they used to which lets all that noise bleed in you might even want to look at the wheel well liners to make sure nothing is loose or vibrating against the frame while you're at highway speeds

Noise can be hard to pinpoint. On my 2013 at about 85,000 miles, I heard a noise that no one else heard, origin to me was the right front. I thought it was tires and replaced the front two, same noise. I inspected everything, ruled out the right front axle assembly, shaft carrier bearing, no wheel wobble, etc. I decided it had to be the wheel bearing. I removed the assembly and could not see anything wrong with it, could not feel any grinding or restrictions, wobble or anything. I had a new bearing so because half of the work had been done, decided to reassemble using the new bearing. The old bearing after removal showed no sign of wear, bad seal, etc. After the reassembly, noise was gone. It was the bearing.

Ionly hear tire noise from my 2016 es. Will be replacing soon since mine are on the way out. Looking for a good set that gives miles and cuts down on noise. I know that is hard due to softer quite tires wear out quickly and harder tires gives the milage but you give up on being quiet.
