Rear shelf soundproofing

Quoting from Reebs' thread from March:
27) 4th March 2002 / from VIN 250641 – 75 Diesel saloon with 16” & 17” wheels
The ‘Butile’ sound absorbent material was deleted from the rear parcel shelf. On vehicles with 16” & 17” wheels a ‘Dynamic Absorber’ was then required to reduce transmitted road noise to an acceptable level. This Dynamic Absorber was fitted to the base of the rear suspension dampers. In addition, all ZT models had the Dynamic Absorber fitted.
Unquote.

When my daughter travels in the back of my 2004 75 she says it is not as quiet as her mum's 2000 75. Has anyone tried adding the original soundproofing or an alternative to their project drive car? How easy was it? Did it make any difference?
