My transporter was heavily undercoated by the previous owner and is very
quiet on the road. Only a bit of wind noise around the windows and only
a little tire/road feedback...

I lined my whole van floor with B-Quiet sound deadener and I helped
substantially. Cost a little under $200, but worth it for extended
trips. Let me know if you need info.
