I'm with you 100%. This is exactly why I'm trying to quiet the truck down. I like to listen to music and audiobooks. BUT, I don't want to have to turn the stereo up to overcome the roar of the truck.

For reference, my '21 GMC Sierra is 62db at 60 mph. The listening experience in the GMC is very enjoyable. That's my target. If I can get the C10 down to that sound level, I can live with it. Anything quieter than 62db is just gravy.
