DeLoreans actually scored well on noise level in the contemporty magazines.  
I actually find that with the Michelin Pilots, road noise is very comfortable 
even at 80mph.  if there are a lot of low-frequency road hums or whatever, it 
doesn't sound right to me and it can almost certainly be minimized.  Another 
owner in the MN area recently covered his whole tub in dynamat under the 
carpets.  He says is makes a noticeable difference.  my guess is the tires are not 
very good.
