I usually have the radio on. I think a lot of the noise comes from the tires and pavement, not much wind noise. Plus the exhuast has a nice tone to it. The exhuast is just right IMO because you can barely hear it when cruising but can get fairly loud when giving it a good amount of gas.

Wind noise is the noise I notice the least.

Noise will go like this from most to least:

Convertable car>T-top car>hard-top car. Everybody knows a convertable car will be louder than its Hard top counterpart. T-tops are a tad louder than hard tops because of the extra weather stripping and less smooth lines.

Anyway, to answer your question directly, my F-body isn't that much noiser than many other cars I have drivin in. Perhaps a little bit, but not much. But remember, the faster you go, the louder it will get. It is going to be loud in any car if you plan to cruise at 95 mph.
