Recommendations on sound proofing?

Looking to add some sound deadening.

Anyone have recommendations? All the stuff on Amazon is rigged with fake reviews and spam brands. Can't even tell what's what.

Thanks in advance

It is likely 2.1 quarts in the transmission pan alone.

ATF fluid also sits in the torque converter, and ATF cooler & lines, if the car has one.
