I use Bose noise-cancelling headphones in my 300SD when I'm on the 
highway. $300. Instant lexus. Also great music fidelity when you plug 
'em into anything that plays.

Hmm-well I drive mine 140 miles RT commuting 2-3 days a week. You may
have a point there. I have been thinking about a new hood pad.

If I were going on a long road-trip, I would definitely do it...  That 
thing is loud on the highway...  But for regular every-day driving it's
not 
bad...  Once you get above about 50 MPH, the engine noise is quite 
significant, yes...  It's enough to bother me after 20 or 30 minutes -- 
which is why I avoid taking it on the highway whenever possible...

That's why the OT (off topic) is in the subject line - if you only
want MB content, delete or ignore all posts with OT.

After a few years on the list, some of us have discuovered non MB
mutual interests, and use this forum to discuss them -- --

Radio?  What's that?  I haven't owned a car with a working radio in years.


I much prefer '' mechanical music ''  as in the Rush song, Red Barchetta.

Back in the 1980's I got a set of the best Silencio muffs I could find (NRR of
24 or 25dB) Wore them for everything imaginable, lawn mowers, chain saws, 
firearms,

etc. Last year I replaced them with Peltor Ultimate 10 muffs that cost me less
