I'm looking for ways (preferably inexpensive) to reduce sound traveling through the door and window in a room.

For the window, I'm thinking of creating a plug using a soundboard (the kind you find at Home Depot or Lowes). I will have a projector in the room, so it's good that the window is covered. Sound at reference level traveling out the window doesn't seem to be that much of a problem, but sound from the neighbors coming in can be audible and distracting when watching a movie.

The door seems to reduce the sound by around 25%. Can I add something to it or should I get a new door?

Thanks.
