It gets somewhat better as they get older, but it never really goes away.

When? My boys are 10, 10 and 13, and this shit still happens on a regular basis.

When they all get their own cell phones. :)

This must be a “you’ll get it when you’re older” sort of thing.

That’d when they're quiet. When I can the phones and bake them look out the window, that's when they get stupid.

Less baking, more making.... :)
The best thing I’ve found so far is an audiobook. Get their ears occupied and their minds will follow. Once their minds are engaged, they stare out the windows. Turn off the book and watch them freak out.
Other than that, in-car movies worked pretty well to quell the noise, but I found movies defeated the purpose of the road trip since both their eyes and ears are focused. They never see the world around them.
For short trips, the best bet is an active conversation with the adults. You better know something about their subjects of interest. For us, it was Harry Potter and Pokemon. These days it’s about driving, high school, college, and biology (I’m pretty sure my son is going to be a biologist of some kind).

Growing up, I remember it stopped when my parents got a minivan. One of us got the back row to himself, the other two sat in the middle row with a seat folded down as a table between us. Seemed to work.
