I wouldn't say it's a super rough riding car, tho it is fairly light compared to the weight you expect from the interior.
Status of the suspension, tires size (15,16,17?) and inflation (bring a gage) all effect ride quite a bit.
There is some venting in the rear but I can't recall where, shouldn't hear air rushing thru.
Tires every six mos ... well you'd expect 20K to 40K miles on a good set of tires, aftermarket suspension or alignment?
Maybe the noise is the tread scrubbing off the tires?
Positively drive another similar 9-3, sure aint gonna hurt.
