You can also get sound deadening kits to fit in the engine bays of many cars, see usual mags for adverts.
Veg oil will also make it sound smoother, so you may want to have a look at the tax-paid ones such as global-diesel ( ie. all the bio-diesel 5% or more blends ) available from filling stations / fuel suppliers.

Newer VW group cars (VW, Audi, Seat Skoda...) have fabric matting stuck to the inside of the bonnet, a foam backed 'lid' covering the cam head and an 'eggcrate' backed panel underneath the entire engine bay. All this does a lot to deaden the noise. I guess the main thing to watch out for if putting stuff in yourself is that you don't block up or restrict any cooling by doing it.

would that not retain the heat from the engine bay?its hard enough tryin to keep forced cold air onto the top mounted intercooler in this weather. throw a tin of injector cleaner into the tank.better still (forget the name of it) a tin of the stuff you put directly into the fuel filter housing.think it may be the molly slip brand,not sure (will post up when i remember it)but did the world of good for me. also,check that its not "chatter" from a worn and dry alternator belt.give a squirt of wd and c.
