How are the L400 cabins for engine noise?

Next to the damage my spine took from my Subaru Sambar kei-truck, the loud cabin was my biggest complaint. A single layer of sheet metal between the cabin and the big blue world, rattling truck-box side-panels, and a truckbox-to-cab joint that must have been designed as an acoustic super-conductors of engine noise... Well, it made for a long ride.

I can't imagine there being much of a comparison between the kei-truck and a Delica in this respect, but the diesel engine makes me wonder.

No complaints from me. Easy to carry a conversation, talk on the phone (yes...handsfree) or listen to the radio. Not loud at all.

As the general consensus appears to be that I do not know what I'm talking about, and cause more harm than good, I am removing this post so that others are not tricked in to following my ill-advised instructions.
