quiet the hatch

does anybody have any tips on reducing road and exhaust noise inside the car. i have considered sound deadener, but wondered if there are any other less expensive alternatives.

Elemental designs makes a good sound deadener. It comes in liquid or sheet form and it is pretty darn cheap for what you get, their site is www.elementaldesigns.com. Check them out. I have an amp and components by them, great customer service and great products.
