I have finally come up with some ideas to treat a large door for sound proofing and acoustic reflections by creating custom 2 sided acoustic panels for the dual purpose.

The each door is about 80 x 30 and there are two connected doors.

I cant treat the entire area for practical reasons so taking out for the door knob I have 24 x 40 to work with on the top and 24 x 30 to work with on the bottom of each door.

On the internal side both will have 4" of extra dense rock wool with fabric stapled to a plywood backing. The sound blocking/mass loading back side is where I need help.

All options will be done to the back of the plywood attached to the acoustic panel

Option 1:
a layer of green glue then adding a second piece of plywood, whole panel screwed directly into door

Option 2:
1/8" mass loaded vinyl then adding a second piece of plywood, whole panel screwed directly into door

Option 3:
add 1cm of edead (rubber butyl) to the back of the single piece of plywood and space it off the door by an inch

I am obviously not even 10% as experienced in this as you so I am sorry if I am over simplifying it.

My goal is reasonably conservative. I want the sound to go from very loud and "bothersome" in the other rooms on the same floor to noticeable and manageable.
