| Best way to reduce road noise?
Like the title says, what product works best? Dynamat? Something spray on? I know putting stuff like this in is a hassle so I want to do it right.

Cabin, I'm thinking of lining the floor, trunk and firewall.

I also want to know this. I know the guys over at Flyin Miata uses Spray-On Insulation - Automotive Insulation Coatings | LizardSkin in all their builds. Frankly I would assume that mats and padding would do the job, but spray? I'm a bit skeptical. Linked pictures from one of their builds;

Mass loading will reduce the resonant frequency which will generally result in lower audible noise as humans are less sensitive to lower frequencies, but it doesn't actually block, reflect, or absorb sound.

| Vehicle Sound Deadening Materials for Noise Reduction, and Thermal Insulation. Call 800 679-8511. | Second Skin Audio, Made in the USA. - I used Second Skin Audio's Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner Pro for my TSX and it definitely helps (my FIL drives an un-damped TSX). I did the doors with damplifier and the trunk got both damplifier and luxury liner pro.
Bit of a pain to do the first time and the doors are a lot of work but I'd say it was worth it.

In a diesel jeep, i'd almost experiment with mass loading. But I think it's kind of, go 100% or nothing.
