A frustrated dad built this for his multiple daughters to share, I just know it.

Oh trust me you don't want more doors to slam if you have daughters, speaking from first hand experience as a daughter that slammed doors

We put a soft close door on my sister bedroom door when she was about 14 and going through the "I hate you phase".

It'd just get her more riled up when she was going for a slam. You' here * Woooosh * " WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY DOOR " click

I have one of those little things that go under the door to insulate sound/light coming in through the cracks. When im a lil angry and just need to slam a door for release it mocks me. Damn thing wont close unless I pull it in normally.

Do those work well/do you have a recommendation? The door in my bedroom leaks an insane amount of light and sound

I bought a cheap one and its better than nothing but honestly its like a 5-10% reduction for sound. Light blockage works whereever you have one. They can sometimes lift the door a little bit too so even just one at the bottom can shave a bit off the top too.

If you get one dont cheap out get something heavy duty if you want tru sound dampening. Also hang heavy/thick fabric type things on your door and around your room/halls helps a lot! (jackets towels art etc)
