They did improve the noise isolation. As I mentioned in my C220 CDI W204 testdrive, the cabin does a solid job of keeping noises out, including the engine noise. You can still hear it, even if it is warmed up, but it's a very quiet and muffled sound that shouldn't bother anyone - unless you're one of those 90-year-old senile men who need total isolation from the outside world. In that case you know what to get.
