Are geo metros loud?
I am curious about how loud they are when traveling at freeway speeds and if there is a way to make them quieter without spending a lot of money.

I take it that you don't have one [yet]. Do you know anyone to hitch a ride with?
'Loud' is subjective. You have NVH from the chassis, motor noises and wind. Which is most important? When I first got my Metro, the most noticeable noise was air seeping around the door window glass. Beetle owners routinely replace the weather seals, but I don't know what it take on a Metro. A 1 liter 3-cylinder isn't going to shake the ground. I get some rattling from the tailpipe hanger. At freeway speeds, something in the back rattles a lot, but I can't crawl back there to see what it is. |
Quieter than a motorcycle?
:) You can certainly quiet down a barebones car if you want to. More than a couple of Mirage owners have stripped out the interiors and plastered on that sound deadening stuff ... those big squares of peel-and-stick asphalt/tar. Ask me again in the spring when I get my 1998 Firefly on the road. I'll be better able to compare it to the the Mirage. But I suspect they're about the same. |
Cryptinox - what type of car(s) are you used to?
Might help us understand what your starting point/expectations are. Noise is relative. Safety is relative. |

Well, that one is easy, they're not that loud. ;) And you could always add a Supertrapp muffler as a tailpipe extensions. I think you'd want the 1.75" Universal.
