Yes. Just received a load of sound deadening and sound proofing. Hoping it solves most of the noise.
the tyres undoubtedly make a difference, i went from michelins to eagle f1's and it was such a difference, though when they begin to wear they will start to get louder as there is more tyre block contact.
i agree, tyres do make a big difference, and so does road surface.
Can't remember what's fitted to the Beeza (04 originals) but haven't noticed real bad tyre noise (only an SX). Certainly not compared to the 406 that has shed loads of sound deadening.

I have an FR TDI and it is quite noisy.
I said:
I have an FR TDI and.... oh, never mind - I'll tell you when we stop at the next traffic lights.

LOL
Yeah they're going to be fairly noisy with the size of tyres fitted, never really noticed much difference on mine between tyre brands, but only ever had the OE Bridgestones and Conti Sport Contacts so haven't tried many.

Stinger road kill arrived today, along with the acoustic foam type stuff I am hoping for jag like refinement LOL!
Ok, halfway through. Take all the daylight.
The rear interior panels (would be a door card on a 5dr, no idea what a 3dr is called?) ARE A F******** BITCH to get off. And I broke some grommet things and a bit of the panel - grrr. But am VERY hopeful of what I have done to the rear wheel arch areas. Used a bulk pack of Stinger roadkill which seems ok, not that great. But the acoustic foam seems really good. Will have to see what it sounds like on the road tomorrow.
Still to do: remove front seats, rip up carpet, stick foam thing under carpet and put the seat back.
Also planning to buy some decent mats that might absorb some more sound.

I remember having a nosey at the rear panels myself to see what was behind them, thought they looked like a ideal place to attack but never got round to it....
Got some photos, need to take a picture of the cards - that might help others.

The stinger is self adhesive and can be cut. The other needs glue.
