My custom cargo van had house fiberglass glued to the interior walls, vapor barrier to the inside. It really made it quiet and warm.

J.C. Whitney, and others (try a heating/AC shop) sells self adhesive rubber sheeting that really cuts down on the drumming noise the sheet metal panels can make. Fancy stuf like Dyna-Mat is not required unless you are getting very serious with your audio system.

I looked at several options and I think I'm just going to use indoor/outdoor carpet. It should sound proof as well as insulate. I can choose a color to match.
