If you are willing to change your doorframe to a metal one then this is a very effective door sealing method which will make a huge difference to the sound resistance of your door. These panels offer a step up from gluing a sheet of plywood to your door but they re not generally as expensive as high end solutions like fiberglass soundproofing blankets. To soundproof a door make it structurally strong enough to block noise by replacing it with a solid core door or by adding mass loaded vinyl soundproof blankets and panels to the existing door. While closed doors do a decent job shutting out the noise outside the room cracks between a door and its casing or threshold offer just enough space for some sound to filter in.

If adding many soundproofing elements to your door seems like too much work try adding an acoustic door panel. Magnetic door gaskets only work on doors which are built into metal frames so they aren t a suitable method of soundproofing for most doors. Acoustic door blanket panels overlap the door and extend beyond the frame to prevent acoustical leaks. Soundproofing doors is easier when you understand the acoustics involved.
