Noisy Juke

I recently bought a Nissan Juke, I like the car but the engine and road noise is too high on motorways at 70-80mph. Could you please suggest a solution for this.

And could you please suggest any good brand for those noise reduction materials?

It's because the 1.6 petrol model is too low geared, at about 20mph/1,000rpm in 5th. That's why I criticised it for this. A 1.5 diesel is longer geared, quieter and better to drive.
