ALL Car Confections Sound Level Readings: The Master List (2024)

ALL Car Confections Sound Level Readings: The Master List (1)

This is the BIG ONE, aka the Master List! Here are ALL the sound level readings (dB) Car Confections has ever collected throughout the years! Click to find out what vehicles are the quietest in the world, the loudest vehicles you can buy, and then rank everything in between from quietest to loudest! Will the best options be ultra-luxury models like the Mercedes S-Class? Or will it be an electric vehicle, like the Tesla Model S? What are the quietest mainstream vehicles? What are the loudest vehicles? Find out the answers to those questions and more with our sortable Sound Level Readings Master List! Enjoy!

For the methodology of our tests, we test every car at a consistent 55 MPH under similar weather and road conditions. If a vehicle does not conform to these conditions, or it wasn’t tested in our home state of Kentucky, it will be clarified in the “Special Notes” column.

Please note, we cannot control the conditions for which we review a car in, given how many cars we review each year. However, we go to great lengths to make sure the Sound Level Reading is consistent and accurate.
