Hey everyone! I'm looking for advice on how to soundproof an indoor door leading to a room. The door has uneven gaps around the frame and at the floor, and there are no seals between the floor and the door. I'm based in Europe, so any specific material recommendations would be really helpful! What should I use to minimize noise?

I agree with the previous comment! Seals and mass are vital. You could even look for thicker doors if you're considering a replacement. But if you're set on soundproofing this one, start with those seals. Keeping your door tightly latched does wonders, especially if you're facing a noisy street.
To be clear, you might not be able to get your door completely soundproof, but you can definitely reduce the noise. Start by ensuring you have a tight seal; that's crucial. If you need extra protection, think about adding mass with additional layers of wood or using limp mass like vinyl sheets. Just remember, sealing those gaps is key!
