Is there a material that will vibrate less from ambient sound and be
highly reflective?

The stuff you want to back the reflector with is an acoustic foam sold
in small pieces for making PCs much quieter and in large pieces for
recording studios.

Patches of the stuff are commonly applied to stainless sinks to keep \'em
from making a racket. But, since the original poster has a focusing dish,
the modes that would \'ring\' that dish really don\'t focus on his microphone.
Probably the dish isn\'t causing a problem, rather the \'road noise\' could be
rushing sounds, i.e. turbulence due to winds. For that, you put a sock on it...
