Too much traffic noise?

Hello,
I'm curious about the feedback of the owners of the new A4 concerning the sound deadening in this car. Already in all the promos and previews Audi claimed that the new A4 is the quietest in the class. My feeling is that it's fairly quiet in terms of wind noise, tire noise, but not so great with external noises like passing cars, traffic, any ambient noises like people chatting on the sidewalk. When I wait in the car with the engine off I can hear the birds chirping outside. I do have the double glazed front side windows.

I tested Lexus GS, BMW 5 F10 and it was better insulated from the sounds of the passing cars and other noises.

What are your thoughts on that? Shouldn't it be a bit more "cut-off" from the surroundings?
 
personally, not too bothered, it's not a rolls or a bentley
