When on the other hand I drive on a worse quality country road, I feel my wind noise is lessened, not because it really did lessen , but just because road noise increased this time.

I am always based on the feel of the interior noises when driving on the highway- good road quality- when making statements like I have a wind noise and a traffic noise issue.
I agree Ural.

I find that on motorway/highway surfaces which are course thereby inducing tyre noise, this is when hear significant tyre noise from other vehicles. This noise from other vehicles actually seems worse than from my X3.
