Re: 2005 Civic road noise

My wife's 2005 honda accord hybrid is incredibly quiet even on rough roads.
It was made in Japan and probably has different tires than other accords.

Even the new Civics have a lot of road noise according to Consumer
Reports. They say the same thing about the Accord and my 2003 Accord is
so noisy on some types of pavement that the radio is drowned out -- one
of my few complaints about the car.

My 2005 Civic 4-door is has a high level of road noise on the highway
and I am looking at putting in some noise dampening material.
A lot of the roads I drive on are "seal coat" (gravel poured over a
tar-like base and then worked in by the traffic). Also, I believe the
OEM tires that came with the car add to the noise level.
I am looking for suggestions on where to place those noise dampening
sheets for maximum effect. Has anyone out there already done it on this
generation of Civic?
Thanks,
Mike
