Start off with getting better tires. The vast majority of road noise is caused by poorly worn, or just straight up **** tires.

Better tires, alignment, tire pressure not maxed out.

I had crap tires on my car and it was ok noise wise. New tires and an alignment and now it's pretty darn quiet! I got tires with a solid center rib...which probably quiets them a bit.
