All these sound deadners mentioned will help tremendously. Something to keep in mind a wider tire with the aggressive tread pattern will also be noisy no matter what. I took the Pilot Sports off the back of my car and installed a set of Hoosier drag radials with 2 grooves. The first thing I noticed was how much quieter the car is.

I have a ton of sound deadener, in my car.

Where I get noise, being an older car, is;

#1 Wind Noise. The old windows do not seal air tight, and there is a ton of tubulent air around the vent windows, roof drip rail, chrome trim and mirrors.

#2 Engine and header noise. More solid motor mounts and headers contribute to some noise, and exhaust. I wrapped the mufflers and primary exhaust pipes with header wrap (that worked)

#3 Suspension noise, rod ends, firmer rubber bushings contributes to more direct transfer of road noise.

Only the wind noise really bothers me. Even if you have the windows down a crack at freeway speeds, you cannot even talk to your passenger. Radio = forget it. I have a/c bu my wife insists on having a window down, usually (I don't bother arguing )

Id be willing to bet a lot of the noise is your tires. What condition are they in? Can you describe the noise?

I believe your bet is good. The tires are probably fairly old they were on the car when I bought it. They are 195/50/15 T/A's with good tread life but show signs of age like cracks.

As far as the 2 products I used, I am happy with what I hear. I do notice a huge difference on exhaust noise. The exhaust ends before the rear end so that made a big difference. I've only done the back half of the car so far but can see change in cabin noise. I think its money well spent if your not worried about weight.

Here are a couple shots I took after putting the dynamat and dynaliner in.
