my hollow interior doors seem to be amplifying sound. That's not good for a day sleeper. HELP

1- take the foam rubber
2- stick it on the door
3- cuts the borders
4- cover the foam rubber with a heavy woven (for example alcantara)
5- you can finish the perimeter with a decorated border
6- put some garnishings on the shutters of the door
(the work is effective if you do it on the two facades)

You can use cork that comes in sheets, just secure it on the door and it will soundproof plus you can either leave it as is or paint it for a cool look!

Use the accoustics material to soundproof the door... It could be a Low Density Hard board etc... Just go down to the hardware stores, and they will give you a variety of accoustices material... Choose one of them according to your budget and fix it

The cheapest way would be to put weatherstripping on the door jamb and to install a door sweep under the door.

May use acoustic linning as well as false ceiling with gypsum board which helps in sound proofing as well as to reduce the temperature of room and power electric city bill .

In addition to adding sound proofing to the door----weatherstrip it as you would an exterior door since the sound also comes in around the door.

You could replace them with a door that is rated for sound proof. Other than that I don't think you can because they are made of only thin wood and cardboard.

Just put sound proof glass on the window and sound proof doors which are available in market.

u might try drilling holes(6 inches apart) in the hinge side, and filling the door with expanding foam, be careful not to use to much or it might bust the door. try ear plugs

Get some heavy curtains in your room. That will help you a lot. Believe me, I have used it and it works like anything.
