I've been searching all over the play for way to reduce cabin noise (caused by wind and road). I'm not even sure where to start. I'm not looking for a dead silence, i just want to listen to my radio without it being turned up too loud.

I think someone recently mentioned using padding that's used under wood flooring.
The spray would help absorb sounds making it quieter. At least that's what I figure it to do.
Of all the cars I've owned the Corolla was definitly the quietest to drive. Then again, a '72 pickup with no AC in the south meant driving with the windows down all the time and a Blazer with the radioator fan attached to the engine meant lots of noise. Maybe I'm just going deafer over the years. Anyway, I usually just have the stereo turned up to drown out the noises.
Sound deadening spray doesn't work. Well, it does in a sense, but hardly. It's also extremely messy and smells horrible. Other than changing your tires to a run quiet tread and making sure your intake and exhaust resonators are in working condition is as quiet as you can make the car without Dynomat. Other than that, Dynomat is your ONLY solution.
Suggest a TN history search. There have been past posts on sound proofing and what materials folks have used. Then do a Google search as many others have been this way and posted, some include photos.
Typically for doors Dynomat or other products are installed between the door panel and door. Then under the carpet in passenger compartment and trunk. Where ever you can access and lay the stuff down.
It's a lot of work but this type of sound proofing in part is what is used in luxury cars to deaden noise.
Use sound deadening material that people use in Car audio cars. RAAMAT, Second Skin, Dynamat, and maybe some sound deadening spray (ex. expanding foam.)
Check your weather stripping.
Make sure your doors are lined up right.
Make sure your windows roll up all the way. (You are talking about making your car quiet when you have your windows up right???)
