Any sound engineers out there?

How do you further soundproof an already quiet car to make it even quieter?fftopic:

Tires are a big source of noise in an already quite car.

it seems that toyota... oops
i mean lexus, has integrated sound proofing into the wheel arches, and also the firewall of the engine bay...
i was thinking of improving this by adding further noise damping, but wasn't sure which startegic locations to do it.
not even my merc or jag has sound proofing like this... curious really

Phew...

I already though you were adding sound deadening to your RUF...

If you need more, I have my sound deading lying around...
Oops, I actually threw it in the trash already...
