Hi,

I have a hollow core door in the bedroom and it's just not quiet enough
sometimes. I mean nosie from other rooms can be heard in the bedroom.

How much better would a solid door block sound?

Thanks

jason

Much better. If you are talking about the plain luan mahogany doors,
even the molded panel doors are better.

Probably hollow doors filled with fibreglass or something
similar, shreds of varying lengths. The specifications of
what you want are those opposite to specs for a loudspeaker
diaphragm, i.e. non-rigid, to absorb sound rather than pass
it on, etc.
