It drones a little when in a hiher gear accelerating from a relatively slow speed, eg. 3rd gear doing 60kmph up steepish hill, apart from that it doesnt drone at all, the hotdogs are to quiten it down, it is much louder outside the car than what it sounds from the drivers seat, the cabin is well insulated and dulls the exhaust sound down to the driver, but everyone else in the outside world cops it pretty loud. Dazza.
