That may seem funny, but it's a fact. I drive I-95 100 miles every day. AS
my tires wear, I find the radio gets louder and louder, enough for me not to
hear my cell phone when someone calls. When my wheel bearings went bad, I
thought it was the worn tires (severely worn on the inside due to lowering
springs, at that time), and I just cranked the radio even louder...

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
