As I did with my Honda Fit, I also did this to my Kona, but to a lesser degree since I have added some heavy tar based sheets for my speaker install. (15 lbs worth) on this install I will add "light" sound proofing. I use fire proof Roxul house insulation. It is made out of lava rock, basically lava rock cotton candy. It is also water proof and mold proof. I use this stuff if I am soldering copper air lines at work up against the ceiling and wall. This can take the heat of full blown MAPP gas torch so I done get any heat on the ceiling or wall when soldering .
Home depot use to stock the bags, but I only see the pallets on their site. Also Menards sells Owen Corning version of it too below but was on Home Depots site so I posted it. They too could have it on site in the Owens brand.

I NORMALLY add this to the whole backside of the front and back doorskin with light use of double sides tape so it barely holds in place at a 45 deg angle. Again since I have 15 lbs tar sound proofing in my driver doors I am passing on installing it there for now. You tare or cut to size and delaminate it to what thickness you need. As you can see by the pictures I added it to both rear side wheel well covers, back spare cover (<--will tuck the excess back up), rear seat side plastic radius trim piece, front foot kick sides and lightly in the side channels. That should help reduce some of the sound infiltration. I mistakenly added it to the area where my trailer wiring convertor was and had to open it back up again and take some out around the convertor to give it some breathing room with it's heat.
Attention::: Hyundai wants to make profit on YOU and has designed their side trim hold on taps to break 65% of the time. Have a bag of these before you try anything. Don't worry on the different coloring, these work.
