Best way to elimanate road noise
What is the best way to get rid of the road noise in a 99 civic? Sounds stupid but my car inside going 55 down the road makes my car hear everything on the road.

dynomat is good, but you might want to search around here. there was a thread like this not to long ago. i think Eran posted a link to something similar to dynomat but lighter.

shocks won't make it quieter, just more comfortable <--- Not sure if that's a word
Tires can make a difference thou

I highly recomend sparying your wheel wells with ruberrized undercoating... it drastically reduces road noise...
I used bquite sound deadening in mine and it's heavy but not rediculous... it's like having a passenger with you all the time.. I think I used like 140lbs I can't remember...
But even if it's 200 it's worth it to me... MUCH quiter than stock. sounds more solid when you close the doors/trunk etc...
and also most of the weight is on the floorboards which is "good" weight...
The Spray coating isn't going to add much weight at all and really does help a ton... I did it in the front and not in the rear at first and you could hear the contrast WAY more than I thought you'd be able to.

Dont drive it kidding.. uneven worn tires can cause horrible road noise as well... not sure if your car has always made the noise or not, if not read above post

Search...you will find dozens of threads on this. Here's one example:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by pdiggitydogg »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">go to a home center/hardware store and get roofing tar mat crap
its the same as dynamat but seriously much cheaper (maybe a a bit less effective but who cares)
It comes self-adhisive and not...so read before you buy.
I used that, one layer, on my rear wheel wells and parts of my 1/4 panels and it made a very noticable difference.
Everyone says "smells like tar" and it does...for a day or so. Leave the windows down for awhile and no problem</TD></TR></TABLE>
