Default sound dampening?

Use some Dynamat under the carpet.

get on summit racing, they sell this stuff called "BOOM" its a spray on sound deadening material, its convenient and allows application in tight and places that get wet. its kind of pricey but compared to dynamat it cant be any worse. its not very robust so using it as a floor liner wouldnt be recommended. more than one layer for best results.

For a low cost sound deadener, buy some cheap old paint and mix it up with sand and apply a very thick coat to your floor boards & firewall.

Here's another alternative that's low cost and bit more professional:

Read the following link. Use what you learn and buy the products on your own from lower cost vendors.

Sound Deadener Showdown - Your Source for Sound Deadening Products and Information

The cheapest place I have found for the MLV is here:

Soundproofing Mass Loaded Vinyl Barrier, Super Soundproofing Co
