Has any magazine or web site done a review of interior noise?

I want a quiet interior.
The Lexus ES, and the Buick LaCrosse and Lucerne, have very quiet interiors.
Some magazines report oon a few car, but you cannot make a comparison bewteen cars tested by different folks, like say for example you can't really compare Edmund's results on one car to Consumer Reports results on another car. It seems like someone or some group would have a standard across the board test with results for all main stream cars.

Top Gear did it once with a decibal meter thingy. I can't remember what car though. I'm sure they have objective testing of interior quietness. Especially the Germans.

It seems like every buick in the last 5-10 years has been ridiculously quiet. Newer Lincoln Town Cars are also this way. Fantastic cruisers.

Road & Track always lists dBA values at various speeds (including idle) in their full test data. You can use it as a comparison between cars.
