Not the same case here in Pinas 😀
When I was young, I traveled a lot with my dad to both Subic Naval Base and Clark Air Base. Even back in Marcos' time, the roads were okay enough. Our route was MacArthur's Highway(?)-EDSA-South Expressway-Alabang-Zapote Road. None of them seemed particularly noisy.

EQAddict has a Kia Sedona minivan. Perhaps, he can provide some firsthand experience about minivan noise on Manila streets.
