However, I do sympathize with those who want a quieter ride. I'm lucky in that when I want a quiet drive I take my Jaguar XK8. That car is all about refinement and luxury.
I guess I'm just saying every car is built for a reason and IMO it seems counterproductive to try and turn a car into something it isn't.

Well I think the roads have lot to do with it too. The roads in RI are bad and even when I cross into Mass. I notice a difference. But I am happy with the car now that I have made some serious dents in the noise level and I bet the total weight is less than 100 pounds which is very small percentage wise and I can easily make up my leaving my wife at home! Keep in mind we are talking about tire on road noise and not engine noise..
