And again here,
Since I'm confessing about not riding at 4000 rpm's and using the excuse that I live 75 miles from an expressway. Even when I do drive or ride on an expressway I use the right lane and get about 200 yards back from a trucker going 60 t0 65 mph and just relax, kind of like being a half-back following that big ugly tackle through the line. I know some will say that not is how they drive in Florida or CA, but worked for me last month on a vacation to San Francisco.

I'm right there with you, I specifically bought the NC for "old slow guy riding along at mellow speeds enjoying the scenery" lol. 4,000 rpm in 6th would be too fast for my calm, and I would be clapped in irons and face severe fines and tickets if caught anyway...
Which is why it's rather ironic, that my BMW, showed no peculiar specific quirk at exactly 3,000 rpm in 6th, which is where I could only put up with it's otherwise horrible manners!
It just had "normal" vibes (hideous) and engine thrashy noises, (also hideous) not a singular oddball peculiar noise/feel, in an otherwise sea of engine tranquility.
