Maybe you haven't driven a new Ford gasser with V10 up a hill, they are **** noisy!!
The noise that gets into the passenger compartment is a function of how the body builder insulates the engine compartment. We're on our 2nd V10 powered motorhome. The first one was a 2001 Winnebago Adventurer. There was some engine noise, but not nearly as bad as a diesel engine sitting next to you.
Our current one is a 2013 Winnebago Adventurer. This one is much quieter. There is no problem carrying on a conversation in a normal tone of voice, or listening to the radio. I believe you would have to have at least double the insulation to reduce the noise from a diesel to the same level.
