→Pad the latch
===Pad the latch===
Another method is to pad the latch itself. We don't want to mess with the latching mechanism on the door, but we can pad the inside edges of the metal hole into which it latches when the door is closed. Duct tape does the job nicely. This dampens the metallic sounds that come when the door slams or rattles. When couple coupled with padding of the stop, this essentially eliminates door noise. Sleep well.
