    Can anybody recommend an acoustic drop seal for internal doors? There seem to be a few out there at quite different price ranges.

    Not the answer you are looking for... but if it gets insanely expensive, consider fitting double doors, with lots of sound-absorbing material on surfaces in the 'airlock'. Commonly used in studios.

    This is rather old but might be interesting:

    I'd look for ones that quote the dB reduction and ideally the test method. Or just use a fairly heavy but soft door snake.

    How are the rooms ventilated?

    The doors are existing (so I need a retrofit solution). Ventilation is balanced, Ventive supply and extract to each room. Thanks for the report Dave.

    Maybe just ask the bedroom occupants to keep the noise down!!

    They're quieter now that a baby's on the way. The problem is going to be the baby! ;)

    Baby's are NEVER a problem - it's always the entourage...
