That would be adding mass.
Obviously if they're not sealed (at the bottom especially) then the sound will travel right under the door.

I've got a couple ideas. Both of which are my own. Once the walls are built I'll be able to see which direction I want to go.
The outside door that is. The flower area door only needs to block light.
Materials will be delivered tomorrow and hopefully I can put a few hours into it every night. The problem is this is basically an entire basement remodel. So work for the grow area isn't my first priority. However I'll need to frame in some of the grow space before I can frame in the stair wall and the bookcases. I'm going with very simple bookcases that basically fit between the studs. So I'm building a simple wall and putting the bookcases in after the fact. Literally making boxes out of plywood and mounting them between the studs. That saved me almost five inches in grow area length.

@mopaNi Amazing work man! With the amount of craftmanship you've shown so far, you should go the full stretch and venture into DIY COB lighting, as @Rrog is suggesting. You could make a killer lighting setup for this room and you'd be growing top shelf stuff.
COB lights will mean more efficient lighting for your plants + less heat so you won't need to use an AC, with the added bonus of drawing like up to 60% less electricity.

I built a 15 sq ft stealth in my basement. Used cobs with a cool hood diy build. No noise. No smell. Lot's of bud. I grow for myself and give a friend half and still toss weed.

Nice project and setup, you're going to kill it in there with all your planning and attention to detail, looking great in there. If you can swing it, the COB comments are right, absolutely stunning the yield and quality of bud coming off 3590's. I recently added some and just bought another 300w to fully convert to them. Here's one of my first runs, about 3.5x3.5', 4x 3gal plants, all different strains and killed them all at ~25w/sq. ft. You can either save in electricity and cooling costs, or pay the hydro company, COBs just cost more up-front but pay back in operational costs over time. The other reason I'm going with them is I can run more wattage (or equivalent wattage if you will) in my limited space.
