I have freinds with C900 and NG900/older 9-3 covertibles. Their cars are not as quiet as the new 9-3 convertibles. The top on the new convertible is very beefy/thick with loyts of sound insulation. Also the new 9-3 has more sound damping in the body.
However, any convertible will be louder than a comparable sedan. You will definietly hear the semi that is driving next to you on the freeway. Also tires are a big part of the noise equation, especially in a convertible. I have always chosen the tires for my convertibles based on tire noise as much as performance. In that respect the 225/45-17 Pirelli P6 "Four Season" tires stock to the 9-3 Aero convertible are a fairly quiet, though mediocore performing, tire.
