Ls400 noiseless motoring

[Malc]

And again yesterday ......... I followed a couple of nice people quietly chatting and meandering along a grassed track out of the venue .......... Wealden Times Summer Fayre at Hole Park,  Rolvenden .......  I didn't toot them outta the goddam way .......  just waited for their look of utter shock as they sensed summat was up !  ......... as I was mouselike  " barking "  at their heels .........  just explained to them it's a V8 4 ltr and it's a Lexus .............

Guess it's as quiet as an EV maybe ?

I’ve seen comparisons of noise levels inside cars moving at various speeds measured by the simple placement of a dB meter in the cabin.  And, of course, Lexus always does well in such tests, particularly the ES, I believe.  However, I’ve never seen comparisons measured from the outside.  I suppose this is because there would be so many possible variables in terms of place, speed, weather etc., as to make testing very difficult to organize.
