Which small cars have interior low running noise?

I recently had a lift in a Mercedes-Benz saloon and was impressed at the silence inside the car so that a normal conversation was possible even between front and back seats. Is it possible to get an equivalent degree of silence and comfort of ride in a small car? My wife and I are in our 80's so ease of access is also important.

You won't get any quieter than a Toyota Yaris hybrid. Also free annual tax and around 65mpg.

My nearly three-year-old Vauxhall Astra seems noisy. The noise appears to be coming from the rear and varies depending on speed and road surface. Could the reason be the tyres or wheel bearings?
I would like to reduce road noise in my 2013 Toyota Verso Excel. Would changing the tyres /wheels help? The tyres currently fitted are 215/55 R17.

Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
