You can use a thin layer of self-adhesive foam insulation, normally used for window weather stripping. It is very effective. The one downside is that if your unit was designed for forced air circulation i.e. the fresh air is forced from corridor vents into the unit; you may be cutting of that circulation. You may be able to alleviate some of this by leaving some spaces in the foam seal around the top of the door. Good luck.
Soundproofing Hi-Rise Apt?
The situation is that I a have hi-end audio system which is very articulate and low distortion allowing me to play it very loud; which I do on occasin The problem is that I live on the 19th story in a corner apt of a hi-rise.This means that none of my walls are common with the next door apt;with no sound escaping from there.But where it is escaping is my front door, with the sound spilling into the hallway.This is causing complains sometimes from management about the "loud" sounds coming from my apt. What should I use on my front door to baffle it; so the sound won't escape. I'm sure some of you smart fellow audiogoners can come up with intelligent solutions to my problem
