Default Sealing holes in doors

"Damnit. Well, I'm sure the dynamat will help clean up the sound
anyways, but what's good for killing road noise then?"

Check to make sure all your door seals and window seals are good. Buy
quieter tires. As far as sound deadening materials, the only thing I've
heard that works well is a combination of damping and barrier materials
sandwiched together. There are some combos available such as flexible lead
sheets surrounded by a layer(s) of traditional damping materials. Problem
is, you have to do your whole car for it to really make a difference.
Floor, headliner, firewall, doors, etc. It's very expensive and probably
weighs a ton, too.

Don't get me wrong, damping your doors like I suggested will help a little,
but not much. I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference.

As far as sealing the rest of the holes, that's up to you. If you're

trying
to quiet road noise, all the layers of dynamat in the world won't help.
