With Type 6 primary box 4000 r/min takes you up to 150 km/h or so. 3000 r/min is exactly 110 km/h on the speedo.
On my turbo with the Type 7 box 4000 r/min takes you to 160 km/h (100 mi/h) and 3000 is more like 120 km ish.
Often I drive at 150-160 km/h and while the engine does indeed turn around 4k r/min it isn't particularly noisy or uncomfortable. Mind you, my rear window seals are shrunken and there is a HELL of a lot of wind noise in the back at such speed.
With proper seals, the wind noise is still pretty evident as you near the Vmax of the 900 Turbo, around 210 - 220 km/h.
