Mike,
It was road noise and wind noise. It's as if they swapped the glass of the windows out for mesh screens. Absolutely terrible. It's not horrible in the '09 for local driving but really bad at highway speeds. It's even worse in the '08 for local and a nightmare on the highway. I suspect the glass isn't as thick and they have fewer sound dampeners. A '09 Venza was a noticeable improvement and even then it was just on par with my old Jeep. That's pretty sad.
