The passenger side rear wheel well was not nearly as bad, probably because the gas filler pipe changes the shape of the wheel well liner. This was after I had done a fairly extensive Dynamat job on the car (see my prior posts early in this thread). I had some rubberized undercoating in the garage so I applied a heavy coating on the outer half of both wheel wells which seemed to make a modest improvement, this should help with "pebble noise" too. My advice would be to include a heavy application of undercoating in the rear wheel wells to complement the application of Dynamat in the interior of the car.
I'd second that.... Plus, one of the members said it might help to put some FatMat /DynaMat material on the backsides of the fender well liner. Not sure exactly what that means. However, there is a plastic liner that is inside there that I'm going to have a look at. I think putting a bit of material behind that inner fender liner might help.
