Looks like a good solution. You need weight to dampen noise, and spray foam
doesn't weigh anything. You might consider some sort of fastener if you can
figure out how. Anything facing down will tend to pull off sooner or later.

OK, I'm not sure why you're so horrified at the polyurethane foam but I'll
take you seriously. I figure I need 34x66 inches replace the sagging stuff,
so I ordered 2 sheets:

Tufcote Noise Barrier/Absorber #104-E
Size 32x36 per sheet @ $89 per sheet + UPS Spoke with Ben
Will give a report when I get it installed.

put a thicker foamy insulating material, not necessarily spray-can stuff
because its wasteful and expensive. Spray-on polyurethane foam may be the
best solution, but I have only seen it applied with a wand from a running
machine on a truck. The spray-on stuff is more dense and durable than the
can-pressurized stuff, and normally applied to the ceiling of industrial
buildings. The job needs to be done while the transaxle is out for best
results, which means you order the truck go come and do it on location.
