Sleeping people aren’t disturbed by noise so much as changes in their environment. If someone falls asleep in a quiet room, then noise will often wake them up. But if someone falls asleep in a room with a loud TV on, they will often wake up when the TV is turned OFF. Their brain is simply noticing that something is changing and it might be worthwhile to check it out.

When you are riding in a car it’s just constantly bumpy and loud and that never really changes, so there’s no reason to wake up.
