IMO problem is more the road noise through the chassis & bumps through the seat.
Yes 2 db isn't actually a lot - it's only marginally perceptible to most people, it's the quality of the sound that matters more and Toyota does a shit job with that. As a reference point, my RDX is technically quiet - on highway 1 in Burnaby at 100-110kph I record around 64-66db which is what you'd expect of a car of that class but there's so much grittness/graininess in what gets through that it feels much louder.
