Default Noise through wheel wells

I don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but when driving on wet roads, the amount of noise that comes through the wheel wells is very high. Is there anything that I can do to cut down on the noise from this area?

not much you can do unless you want to put in some Dynamat sound deadening material, all cars road noise increase when the roads are wet

It just seems much louder than the 05' RL and 05' TL I have owned. OTOH they had some sort of felt like material covering the area.... that may be why.

well it is a sports sedan so it will have less insulation to save weight for performance

can be a good excuse to upgrade your audio
