Never bettered
During a recent cycle ride I was passed at some speed by an ancient Rolls-Royce car, which was far and away the quietest vehicle I encountered all day. Given the huge advances in engineering, materials and design techniques in the 60 or 70 years since that car was built, why can't today's car manufacturers get close to crafting a car with such a quiet engine, so little tyre noise and a lack of discernible wind noise?
