Default Cabin Road Noise

Is it just me/my car or is the a lot of road noise inside the cabin?
I've also noticed that when cruising around 80 (even in comfort) that there is a very slight vibration...
Maybe I just need an alignment or something but the road noise does seem higher than expected (I've only had the car about a week)..

Yeah, I agree on the road noise. I love the car but the road noise is a little high. My 2011 and 2013 S4's were noticeably quieter. My guess is that the glass in my A5 is not as insulating as the S4's, but that's only a guess. This is one area Audi could improve.

The frameless glass has a lot to do with it.

19's or 20's? Wind noise or other?

I have the 19s. I do notice some wind noise, but it's mostly road noise.

My wife had a 2014 S5 coupe and I don't remember the road noise being as bad, but it was my wife's DD not mine.

Still curious if anyone else feels the slight vibration around 80 mph. If I need alignment, that could add the the cabin noise.

Vibration through the steering wheel, for me.
They replaced tires, road balances, etc., and still the same.
