    Consider the illiterate source of the above comment.

    It has been observation that the wind noise and engine noise are much
    lower in Camrys. When sitting in a friend's parked and idling Camry, I
    couldn't even hear the engine. My Accord is much noisier.

  6. Yup.

    You'll also notice that you can't tell when the A/C compressor kicks in
    on the Camry.

    So much of this has to do with the basic platform being required for
    Lexus duty. Lexus takes things seriously. Honda, on the other hand,
    doesn't place their Acura products as high as Toyota places the Lexus
    products. So, Honda platforms that are to be shared with Acura really
    don't get the same treatment as Toyota platforms that are destined to be
    shared with Lexus.

    Oh please, I've owned both Acura and Lexus and the latter isn't much better
    than the Accord.

    I'm not sure you will get a fair answer here either since Honda
    newsgroups will favor Honda and Toyota groups will favor Toyota. I
    think it's best you do your own research on websites. Try doing a
    google search for decibels in cars and hopefully you will find some
    useful info.

    Aside from the noise tho, I think you should ask yourself which car
    will better suit your needs.

    I own an Accord, The Camry's have less road and wind noise, IMHO.

    We are on our 4th Accord. The current one being a 2003 EX V6. The
    only Toyotas I have ridden in lately are the Avalons, a step up from
    the Camry. While both are fine cars, the Toyota has always been known
    as the Japanese Buick, while the Accord is more of an inexpensive BMW.
    I may have the comparison off a little, but you get the general idea.
    The Camry is the soft, cushy, quiet Buick-type car, while the Accord
    is the more responsive, more agile, better performing car with more
    sporting characteristics. And not as quiet, although the 2003, except
    for tire noise, is a very quiet car compared to earlier generations.
    The Honda engineers have really quieted the V-6 down from earlier
    versions when under accelerations.
