I just want this 1 rattle in the passenger side of the hatch to go away, and another in the drivers side door. I can't figure out what they are.

Mostly I just want to cut down on drone. I love the way the exhaust sounds.

You likely won't be able to do anything with drone with the GT Mat. You will have to fix drone by either modifying the exhaust (helmholtz resonators) or doing the entire interior with CCF/MLV to block a lot of the exhaust drone.

Since the car is a hatch, treating only the hatch floor won't do too much. The cabin is a big sound tube and without treating it all, there's limited effect.

Another kickass product is 3M Thinsulate Acoustic. You can fill open spaces between panels with it and it filters a lot of noise that makes it past your sound barriers.

If you wait though I might have some extra I can sell off to you when I am done with my project. I know I'm going to have a lot of MLV left. I bought a 60"x15' roll of it and at least 100sq ft of the 3M stuff.

Sounds like a plan, I'll bring the car down to your place and you we can put it in.

I just don't want you guys to waste your time/money.

The first time I ever did a sound deadening project I listened to the BS and did 100% coverage with Dynamat. What a waste.

Now I know all of the elements required for a proper deadening job.
