soundproof a door

The room situation is all I have but it is a very good room. 20' x 14.5'. Not bad. I'm going to look into a solid door and gasket it well. "Soundproof" is a poor choice of words. A 70 percent reduction would be worth it. Thanks. But please let ideas keep coming.

Good thread and good responses!

i have an idea. buy her a pair of earphones used to block out the sound, especially suited for people who work in a very noisy environment.

if that doesn't work, ask her to move the tv into another room so you can enjoy the stereo while she watches tv.

3 inches thick may be overkill to some, but if it cost me an extra couple hundred bucks so be it. For that matter, if you're planning on living there for several more years you could throw up an extra layer of drywall. Personally I listen fairly loud at times and when you're running a couple thousand watts of sub, a little extra mass is always good. Music is MUCH more enjoyable when the wife is happy !!

I like Mrtennis' idea.
Get her some earphones.
