I have also been looking into this..

There are some bespoke products out there that provide soundproofing such as Dynamat and also Fatmat.. they are quite pricey though. I worked out to do the floor in the back was around 50ft sq of coverage.. (which comes to around £140)

Some people have used flashing tape (available at screwfix) to do the job.. its similar to the Dynamat, but cheaper.. not really had any comparisons between the two though..

I also bought a role of silver sided bubblewrap for insulation and noise reduction, not sure how good it will be though..

I used flashband (the silver sticky stuff) from bandq. I only did the back above the engine bay but i have to say it did make a difference. Not a massive one though but i still have the floor, arches doors etc to do as well yet. :ok
