The Acoustic Door Seal Kit is the first thing most apartment dwellers should buy, because the cheapest noise to stop is the noise that leaks through air. Audimute's kit contains a 25 foot roll of self-adhesive foam tape for the door frame and a door sweep for the bottom edge. The tape compresses when the door closes, which closes the small gaps that let hallway conversations and elevator sounds into a room. The Standard kit covers one 36 by 80 inch door, and the Large kit covers up to four. Installation needs no drill, which suits a lease, and Audimute suggests warming the adhesive with a hair dryer before removal. The limits are clear: the kit does nothing to make a hollow door heavier, and a gap wider than the sweep will still leak. Pair it with isolé if the door itself is thin. At $22 it is the best value on this list.
Who it is for
Renters who hear hallway voices, footsteps and neighbors' doors through the gaps around their entry or bedroom door.
