A word of caution is needed here. Do not install any materiel which 
when heated could give off toxic fumes. Ordinary styrofoam can kill 
you if you breath in the gases given off when it is only heated. Bad 
enough you could have a fire you don't want to be knocked out from
the 
fumes before you can get out of the car. On all modern cars the 
materiels used in the interiors must pass certain combustion, 
ignition, flame spread, and toxic gas tests. The best source for
noise 
deadening materiel is Eastwood.com. They have all sorts of neat stuff 
if you are into cars.The best place to start is on any large flat 
surface to eliminate "booming" or the sounds of being in a drum. The 
other best thing to do is to make sure all of the door seals are in 
good shape to reduce wind noise. Make sure any openings in the 
firewall are sealed too.
