"The Camry is not a quiet car."
 
You really should be in the Midsize forum, not here. That would be like me going on the Fusion forum and telling you how good the Camry is.
 
I will say that you are one of the few that has this opinion. What about all the reviews, which are not just one person on the net? In general, they say the Camry is one of the quietest for this class.

"...loud noisy car...RX400h.."
 
Often has a LOT to do with tires. My F/awd RX300 runs on nice and quiet, comfortably riding, summer use only, Bridgestone Turanzas throughout the year. Tire chains at the ready when/if needed.
 
A can of rubberized undercoating discharged onto each tire well liner also helps tremendously.

Bought a 2010 Camry Hybrid fully loaded after comparing to Fusion and after owning a 2008 Acura TL-S. I find the Camry remarkably quiet with an extremely smooth ride in comparison to both of those cars. The JBL sound system is excellent and compares reasonably well to the Acura. I think the interior of the camry is somewhat low rent compared to the Acura as one would suspect but worth the sacrifice as I am saving 30-45 minutes each way on my commute as I am allowed to use the HOV lanes. As someone who has owned three infiniti's and an Acura over the past 12 years, I find the Camry the most comfortable and quiet car I have owned and as slog through hours of my slow commute.

agree totally with you, I have a 2008 Base TL right now and while I love the car it definitely was not as quiet as the Camry or ES350 I test drove earlier this year; I've never read any reviews on edmunds, car and driver, motortrend, automobile mag, JD Power, US News and World Report, or consumer reports stating the camry is a loud, unrefined, noisy car; in fact most professional reviewers have made it a point to state how class leading the camry is in regards to engine refinement, isolation and quietness while in the cabin and I have to concur with their opinion after driving one; I do agree the interior quality/fit and finish of the camry is not up on par with the Acura but you would expect that since toyota is not a luxury division
 
also, a 4cyl or hybrid powertrain is always going to be louder than a V6 no matter what kind of car you have; the hybrid engines are especially loud and whinny sounding when in use and I'm not sure if that is what some of the other people were referring to

Just picked up my new 2010 Toyota Camry today and I have to say that I really love it. It is somewhat of a "family" sedan, but I really love the exterior design. I ordered it in the Magnetic Gray and it looks very sharp. I bought the 4 cylinder model with the "Touring" package. It comes with the bluetooth, power sunroof, alloy wheels, power seat, digital compass rear view mirror, sirius satellite radio, vaccum fluorescent display... I haven't read all the posts here as there are quite alot but some people were wondering about the VFD and the brightness at night. I drove it this evening and found it to be just fine. It's not too bright and I have not tried to adjust it yet. It's fine the way it is. Also, the engine is not loud at all. It has more power than last year plus comes with a six speed automatic. The extremely high quality of the 2010 Camry on the exterior and interior is VERY apparant and there is nothing to complain about at all. What more can you ask for? I am really glad to have made the decision to purchase this car and I am looking forward to many trouble free years of ownership. If anyone has any questions about the vehicle or the options which come with my package then let me know. I'll be happy to tell you guys about it in greater detail. In my opinion, Toyota makes the BEST vehicles of any manufacturer. I have owned many different brands in the past and nothing comes close.

I was referring to the engine under the hood, not the ride noise, which was OK. The ride was the only thing I could compliment it on.

What's the touring package? Is it anything like the Avalon Touring that sharpens handling and firms up the very soft ride?

Funny that your complaint is about the engine noise; the V6 engine noise didn't bother me nearly as much as the road noise you hear.....It's almost like you have the windows open. I took a long test drive and was shocked at the traffic noise I could hear through the glass (the whole car) when sitting at a light while the cars whizzed by. I followed up the Camry V6 XLE test drive with the base version Highlander and was shocked at the difference in road noise I could hear on the same roads. I wish I could afford the lease payments on a Highlander.
I am going to test drive the Ford Fusion today but since I live in Chicago I get nervous when I see sport tires on any car or truck.

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I think that we have different packages here than in the U.S. I do not believe that the Touring package changes the handling at all or firms up the ride. I am pretty sure that it is just the name they gave it when they decided to load up the Camry with such great features over and above the base model. If I wanted a sportier feel then I would have gone for the Camry SE. That package adds a sport-tuned suspension featuring stiffer springs, solid rear stabilizer bar, and a V-brace connecting the rear suspension tower with the floor cross member for greater rigidity and better handling. It also comes with performance-tuned power steering. I am not into the whole "sport" thing. I really appreciate the Camry for what it is. It is very quiet under the hood and road noise is not an issue at all. I feel that the SE wouldn't be as quiet and soft since it is geared more towards sport.

I forgot completely about the SE being = to "Touring" in Avalon speak. D'uh, grad!!
 
Quiet, yes. Soft? No. I've driven two current-gen Camry models; an LE-V6 and an SE-V6. The SE was definitely stiffer in the ride department, but I didn't notice either of them being particularly noisy. I drive an Accord though, which tend to be noisier than Toyotas in general.
