Soundproofing is a management process which involves different methods to achieve the desired results. Your doors create a huge hole through which unwanted sound can travel through. The doors opening is likely to be only half as effective as its surrounding walls.
Replacing your door with a soundproof door can instantly improve the acoustic performance and block out unwanted sound from entering through. These doors already come acoustically treated, air-tight sealed and filled with insulation and soundproof material.
I’ve listed some of the best places to find acoustic doors.
