4. Adjust the Door Closer (if applicable)

If your door has a hydraulic closer, it may need adjustment to prevent slamming.
How to fix it:

Use the adjustment screws on the closer to reduce the door’s speed when closing.
Test it multiple times to ensure it closes gently.

Door silencers are small rubber or foam inserts that fit into the door frame to reduce noise.
How to fix it:

Purchase door silencers online or from a hardware store.
Insert them into the door frame in the recommended spots.

6. Check and Replace the Weather Stripping

Worn-out weather stripping can make a door rattle or slam.
How to fix it:

Inspect the weather stripping around the door.
Replace it if it’s damaged or worn.

7. Add a Draft Stopper

A draft stopper at the bottom of the door can reduce noise when the door closes.
How to fix it:

Install a fabric or rubber draft stopper to the bottom edge of the door.

By following these tips, you can easily eliminate door noise and enjoy a quieter home!
