Cabin wind noise on freeway - nissan, toyota, honda, lexus, etc.?

Looking for sources of cabin wind levels on freeway - nissan, toyota, honda, lexus, etc. i know that tires, pavement, etc. make a huge impact, but a mercedes for example is extremely quiet, while a 2000 nissan maxima is pure hell with wind noise, at least when trying to listen to books on tape. wondering if the new nissan altima hybrid has the similar issue. you would think road & track, motor trend, etc. would measure this. interested in comparisons, i.e. much better than a maxima, almost as good as a mercedes e class. i am tempted to buy a db meter and actually measure tham all myself on a common stretch of freeway!
Answer
Car and driver or road and track both measure it. your 2000 might be louder because of worn door seals since its 8 years old.
