Best quiet car for $35-60k?

I have a 2014 Mazda 6 and I really like it. I especially like its fuel economy, but it is noisy. We live on the outskirts of Melbourne and many roads have exposed aggregate asphalt, which has the tyres roaring and it's difficult to hear anything else in the cabin. What cars have quiet cabins on this type of road surface in the price range $35-$60,000.

You'll find most cars will be noisy on that type of surface and I'd be loath to recommend one without having driven it on your roads. Another possible solution if you like the Mazda 6 is to remove the rear seats and install some sound deadening on the wheel arches.
