Unable to advise you on the quietness benchmark, but relatives, friends and colleagues did mention my car which is quiet as compared with Vios, Altis, Swift, Lancer (both old and new), Civic and some other SUVs and MPVs which are not apple to apple comparison therefore shall not list them. All usually stock condition with few changed their rims and tyres.
To me our Latio is considered quite quiet as ocasionally I am unsure have I off my engine. The only complain my wife and me share the same sentiments are when we run across a layer of red bricks before the school, it will give a "wong wong" kinda sound, quite irritating at times, secondly when we encountered heavy rain, the sound like using zinc roof for the attap houses.

Hi Jazz,
Yup, I agree and do find the engine quiet. Once, I left the car thinking that the engine was off. However, when I could not lock the door, only then I realised that the engine was not off. It is the road/tire noise that I am trying to see how to reduce (hopfully) without having to pay too much.
Thanks.

Excessive tyre noise could also be due to underinflated tyres.
Try to inflate to 230Kpa when your tyres are cold.
You can also try to do a tyre rotation.
Try these and let us know if it helps.

Hi Clarence,
I usually pump tire to recommended 30 & 33 psi plus 1 (but when the tire are hot). No chance to pump tire when tires are cold leh. Should I plus 2 or more since I pump air only when tire are hot? Rotation and balancing just done at the recent 10K km servicing.
Thanks.

You can try a plus 2 to make up for the hot air in your tyres.
For your noisy tyres, does it give out a "woo woo woo" sound when you are driving?
You got your Latio early this year? Do you know the manufacture month and year of your Latio?
The tyre noise could also be due to "flat spot", which occurs when the car is parked in the warehouse for a long time and the weight of the car rests on the same spot over a prolonged period.
A change of tyres to Comfort type of tyres may help.

A bro had pm me regards the brand of the spray for the sound proof. As I mentioned I did it for my previous ride, would not know the impact on latio. For the benefits of others, please find the information
1) Wash the arch and let it dry before coating.
2) Item used is 3M undercoating spray. Code number: 08881
3) When the car is jack up from the front, the rear can also be accessed to spray
4) Some may choose to remove the wheels for the spraying, but I did not.
5) One can of 3M can do 4 layers. You need to wait for 1 layer to dry first before applying the 2nd
6) The 3M Undercoat spray can be bought at Home-Fix DIY stores ard $10 per can. Industrial area should be cheaper.
I bought the spay about 2 years ago at, hope still exist.
