Very interesting idea Pedro.Significantly reduced engine noise inside the cabin by installing a Dynamat hood liner under the oem hood insulator.
I fabricated longer nylon retainer clips from the oem retainer clips by cutting off the short stem, drilling a hole in the original head and inserting a long nylon retainer.

I may have to try that. I would have thought that the firewall is where most noise enters the cabin, but I guess the hood transmits a lot of sound to our windshields.
I've been trying think of areas to add foam inside the vehice, such as where the spare tire is and maybe under the first row seats where the floor vent seems to be laying on the metal floor of the vehicle where there are cutouts in the floor carpet. Not sure if any of this will help.
I've never used dynamat before or actually never tried to reduce sound in a car, for that matter, but I'm assuming that stuff is best for this purpose
