Well here is the report on the noise reduction efforts of yesterday. It added fifty pounds to the car and lightened my wallet by $800 and as far as I can see did nothing.. absolutely a waste of time and money..
I have to believe the material did something but the result was nothing I could detect.

I think part of the problem is that the noise is a bit hard for me to accept coming off a Honda accord, but I am getting used to it. It did not help that the first day I had it we took a trip to Cape Cod and met with several miles of really noisy surface highway.. that is like riding on a washboard and so things got off to a bad start with my wife the very first day... and this waste of money on sound dampening isnt going to make things better..Next time I am going to change these tires as that is the only reasonable next step.
But with a little getting used to, and accepting the fact my wife has a different view, I am very happy and excited about this car and look forward to many miles of enjoyment. Thanks for everyone's help.
