Other suggestions for noise level are welcome.

Yes. I installed fiberglass bat and it greatly reduced the noise and heat coming from the door which faces the sun. The only thing is I had to have an additional spring added to my torsion bar to compensate for the added weight. I also added insulated bats to my attic over the garage. This made a big difference in the heat and cold in summer and winter.
