Reply #5: cloth is a good idea [View All]

Depending on what your doorway is like, just hanging a thick and heavy curtain can help a lot. I mean, if there is room to put a pole/curtain rod that's at least as wide as the door in, you can hang a curtain - enough so that there are several pleats in it - on there. It may even be better if you have a hallway and can put some space between the curtain and the door. This sort of stuff is used in theaters and really works. I guess you could get the real deal sort of cloth, but I bet it's expensive. I think any really think velvet or felt would work. Also, if there's any space between the door and the door jam, you should cover that. You can put a piece of cloth, foam, rubber, etc. where the hinge is, if your door opens into the apartment, attached to the door and to the wall, but with room to fold. Putting some sort of padding on the bottom of the door would also be good, or just one of those little door pillows (I don't know what they're really called) that are used to keep out drafts.
