As a former Supra owner I can confidently say the interior of the Z4 is quieter and this was one of the main motivations for switching to the Z4 for me. For all its charms, the Supra is essentially an undamped resonant can that amplifies everything coming from the road, particularly the panels behind the side windows and the roof. The soft top in these same places in the Z4, which is close to where your ears are, seems to be one of the main differences. But just tap on the door panels of a Supra and a Z4 and you will notice how much more "dead" the Z4 sounds. If a siren or a barking dog is making noise outside the Z4 you can perhaps hear it more distinctly than in a car with an all-metal structure. But the excellent road noise isolation makes up for it.
