Reducing road noise

Hello my br/o/thers. I come to you seeking advice.
I own a 2012 MazdaSpeed3, and while it was never intended to be a luxurious vehicle, (in fact, most reviews warned about how loud the road noise was) I would like to make the cabin a bit more quiet.
I don't really care about audio, so I'm not trying to make my sound system sound better, this is strictly to reduce road noise.
What material would I use that won't add a ridiculous amount of weight to my car, but would quiet down the interior noise? And where would I place this material for the best results, without having to completely cover my interior?
Thank you.

Use asbestos. That works a treat.

i think you would be better looking on a specialized mazda forum
if the road noise is that bad somebody probably did a whole tut on it

grind it up real thin, and stuff it in all your panels

buy new/better tires.

Mazdas are fucking noisy cars.
Maybe try some dynamat in the doors

Roll the windows down that'll drown it right out.

nvh and rough ride is part of the experience with mazda.

I heard removing the exhaust will reduce drag thus reducing wind noise

Wear earplugs.

drill holes in the exhaust. This lets more air into the pipe which will dampen the noise

Lol if you don't like NVH what are you doing with a MS3
Good luck when you need to replace the shitty engine mounts
t. MS6 owner with all poly mounts + WW front poly mount

Dynamat is the only correct answer. DO NOT BE A CHEAPASS. You would be a fool to cheap out, no matter what Youtube says.
It's relatively easy to apply, but you're gonna spend a couple hundred bucks and a few hours on doing the whole car. You don't need complete coverage, so don't go fucking overboard.
