Road noise?

So Ive drove a few older Toyota and they all have quite a bit of road noise, Is there much I can do to get rid of it,
Its often hard to carry on a conversation

1st off, what kind of tires are you running? TSL's for example can sound like a fleet of bombers. Second, soundproof inside with heat-shielding. You can pick up noise dampening shielding at almost any auto store, BUT, it means removing the carpet to get it under there....

I just have some basic road tires. Nothing designed for off road use, nothing with huge tread..
And I dont have carpet on the inside.. just some plastic mats.. which is probably not helping.

The lack of carpet is probably the big reason. Still get some of that noise dampening shielding, and then put carpet over it. It'll make a huge difference.
