  • Would knackered door trim explain why the front door sound insulation is poor?

  • Pic doesn't show, so unsure what trim your meaning.

    Often the door isn't sitting square within the frame, so some of the seal is doing nothing to keep out draughts (and noise)

    Use a soft pencil and mark the corners and handle height where the door closes into the frame. Are the marks even, or has the door dropped (or frame bowed out by a shit install) ?

    Use a piece of paper and trap it between the door and seal whilst closing the door. Is the compression of the hinges and locking mechanism enough to lighy grip the paper?
