Iv'e had the first 3 generations of Miatas and daily drove a 986 before. No doubt all 3 Miatas were generally noisier than the Z4 in terms of NHV.
I think the tires on the Z4 may have had something to do with the excess noise you mentioned. Proper tires and suspension can fix that.
If you want a more luxury 2 seater get an SLK. I currently have an older SLK AMG Package and it's noticeably quieter and smoother on the road compared to my Z4. However, less sporty with a more comfortable seating position. In addition, both of my cars have stock suspension with the same model tires but SLK has the PRHT.
I'm actually thinking of buying a Miata again just to beat on at the track. Those little pebbles were fun.
