Well today I tried putting sound dampening material on the frunk tub:

While I had it out I put a tiny amount on the out wheel well area. I had previously put it inside the wheel well as mentioned above:

I also did under the mat in the frunk:

I then went on a drive. I managed to hit 4 of the above mentioned testing areas on I35. But, the sound meter did not show any real difference that I could see. I should hit the super rough worst road tomorrow and will see if it makes a difference. I suspect that the previously mentioned wheel well dampening cut most of noise out before it got to the tub.
It is a lot easier to line the tub than the wheel wells. The project was about an hour (vs 4 for the wheel wells), and only required a 10mm socket to get the tub out.
I also have some thinsulate coming that I plan on applying in all 4 wheel wells. The next step after that may be the floorboards in the passenger compartment.
