do you receive box packard from Audi. inside there is B/O headphone and alots of folder. those are meaning headphone is for you when you are driving A7 then put B/O headphone on then you never hear road noise
folders are for you kept service invoice from your A7

how is this sound?

The 20" sport package definitely sounds like it'll do it. Hell even my parents' 328i with run-flat tires makes more highway noise than a 15 year old Honda Accord.

Consider switching tires, or even downsizing from 20"...

It's the tires.

Drive a 20 inch sport pack with summer tires and then a 19" all season back to back.

The 19 is a heck of a lot quieter.

I threw out the stock yokohamas and got conti dws - much better. Still not really quiet, but better.

Btw, I drove a colleagues Porsche Panamera 4S with 20" wheels. The car is NOT quieter than the A7. So switching to the Panamera for road noise will, ceteris paribus, not achieve the desired outcome. But, buying different tires for the A7 or getting 18" wheels will.
