Interior Noise

WHAT’S THAT? YOU WANNA KNOW HOW LOUD THE UNLIMITED RUBICON IS?

OK, so it’s not that bad. Our ears aren’t still ringing, but not even a reject from the dictionary factory would define this vehicle as quiet. The 32-inch BFG off-road rubber adds all kinds of noise, even at slow speeds. The V-6 is unrefined and loud regardless of where the tachometer needle happens to be pointed. Hardly a surprise, wind noise is also a major offender, though the audio system does a commendable job of drowning out all the sources of noise pollution with songs of choice from the optional Sirius satellite radio service.
