Default Has anyone tried sound deadening the road noise?

My complaints are minor, but I'd have paid more for less ROAD NOISE.

Think some Dynamat in the wheel wells would do any good?

Yeah, I went from an Infiniti to the HCHII and the road noise can be annoying. I've noticed it is very dependant on road type/quality. It would be nice if there was an easy way to reduce it somehow.

Mine was fairly quiet until I boosted the tire pressure to 40. It's one of life's little trade-offs... higher noise = higher MPG and better handling. Adding to the complexity of this decision is the fact that my NAVI voice recognition is nearly worthless at highway speeds due to the road noise.

I would recommend some undercoat.
Here's an example of a product I used on mine (see last picture-left spray can).

It works pretty well in addition to protecting the underside agains rocks and rust.

Hmmm... I can see how a thick undercoating layer (assuming they get the wheel wells) could help.

I will inquire when I go to get my heated seats put in.
