OP and expidia say that Audi is quieter Not that I don't trust them, but a factual measurements are more telling the truth than my opinion or someone else. I'm assuming there are many variables that can affect perceived sound level - that's why i think a real device measuring sound cabin noise in dB is more reliable, but there's always something unaccounted
Im only giving hands on experience between the two SUV brands which is not an accurrate comparison because my X5 is huge and my wife's Q5 is a lot smaller, two years older but definetely less cabin noise than my X5.
