The noise level is considerable, esp on the RP with the gearbox uncovered and inside.. But cars of the 50s and 60s are also surprisingly noisy with carpet and floor panels removed. A myriad noise transmission paths in the Seven with no isolating rubber bushes.
And Steve I drove employer Landrovers extensively in the 1960s when running my Seven every day. Regarded them as quite refined. (Unlike cars of the time did not lurch on corners so were driven like sports cars!). The sure cure for anyone complaining about Sevens is the 10hp Fordson utilities. The ultra high revving engine lived in the cab.
