Dampening the road noise

Ok, I have '07 Camry LE. The road noise is a bit much in this Camry.

I tried to seal it with weatherstripping (Home Depot), it's one of those rubber/foam black strip with a sticky side, I put it around the 2 rear doors, where the door hinges is attached to the body

The original weatherstripping there is loose, and if you move it around, the only thing that holds it together is a few clips. It doesn't seem to keep the wind from coming in. It's loose, and I can slide my fingers between the clips. This lets wind in, probably even make high pitch noise. Is there another product that I can use? Something that's real rubber, but more thicker and more dense than the OEM ones (that's around the perimeter of the door)?

I bought something like this:
Amazon Amazon
It helps alittle, but is still noisy. The OEM weatherstrips looks fine, no cracks or cuts, but it doesn't seem to provide enough noise dampening. I'm also probably looking into Dynamat, but that's for later.

If your tires are getting old they'll get louder. Consider low road noise transmission on your next set of tires, it can make a big difference.
