What are your suggestions to make the 75 quieter

As per the title: I'm looking for ideas.
Tyres are all new Dunlops and Michelins: so done that.
I'll be dropping the headlining soon, so will fit some sound deadening material to the inside skin of the roof.

Any other suggestions?

Door skins, wheel arches, boot floor, inner rear wings, around heel board below rear seat, inside boot lid, centre tunnel, and parcel shelf. Or perhaps easier, some of these :P

You mention tyres, but have you checked the DB rating of the new ones, just because they are popular brands does not mean they are the quietest ones, If you're going to the extent of roof lining then the car must noisy.

Might as well line the doors and put new door seals on

The tyres are the quietest rated ones. The car isnt noisy at all: I just want to make it quieter.

Any suggestions for which material to use on the above?

I don't know if the idea ever got off the ground but I know there was talk of noise cancelation being developed for cars.

Wind noise is a significant factor. There's a thread discussing the reduction of wind noise from the door windows. A felted adhesive tape was used to line the rubber window seals - with encouraging results apparently.
