Help me Sound Proof my Doors While keeping the door easily closable?
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2020 7:15 am
Hey,
So I’ve been using this weather stripping door kit from a company called Kanzy to soundproof doors around the house:

The soundproofing works, but installing the weather stripping above makes it hard to close the door. In other words, once installed, I have to really push the door closed and for some of the doors remove the metal latch that the door handle goes into. Every time I open the door, the door opens with with a spring motion, because the weatherstripping pushes the door away from the frame. This springy-ness is also a little loud, which is annoying. I’d do the research on it, but the research on this one is more involved than finding a good snorkeling set or something lol.
Can you all help me to find a suitable door sound proofing weather strip replacement?

Thus far I have taken these steps:
1. Get solid core door
2. Apply weather stripping (which unfortunately makes it hard to close door rn)
3. Apply door
4. Apply weather stripping around door
5. Apply door sweep
6. Hang soundproof padding on door
7. Place a white noise machine adjacent door
