The divider is the easiest way to reduce the road noise. As for supplier, I made my own. The sound reduction is about 4 db's. This may not sound like much, but it is very significant.
Adding quality insulation like Dynamat Xtreme throughout the interior will drop the sound by another 4 db's. My car originally measured about 80db's cruising at 70mph with the radio and all accessories off. It is now measuring about 72-73 on the same stretch of road.
To make the point, I no longer need to increase the volume on the stereo from stop to 70mph. Using a cell phone in the car is no longer a problem.
