The 3.6L CC sounds very nice when you put your foot down (the word "growl" is an apt description). But yea, its also a very quiet car when cruising. Whilst R36 owners may disagree, I think the regular Passat shape probably has more wind/road noise than the slippery CC hence the perception of more engine/exhaust noise in the Passat.
