The new car is noticeable less isolated from outside noise, tire noise is much more noticeable in the new car, as is the exhaust note. I've driven both and I agree, the new 7 seems to be less isolating from the outside world compared to the last generation.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. I suspect the RFTs have a lot to do with the noise.
