Better would be to Dynamat more aggressively. If you only did the rear hatch area, go for the doors. If that's done and your'e not happy still, Dynamat the floor. Last option is the roof. And now you'll have yourself a 4,000lb sports car.

I disagree. Certain summer tires, like the Bridgestones, are well known to be a very noisy tire.
Also, Dynamat is not meant to be sound-deadening material. Its sole purpose is to add mass to whatever it is applied to, making it heavier and therefore less prone to rattling or vibration from acoustics. IMO, you can find better material to use.
