You got an old house, you got crooked doors. I've been annoyed by the crooked doors (and no way to straighten them, they were cut crooked) for years now. I know that light from the hallways was filtering into the rooms thru the gaps.
Well we fixed the problem. Hubs cut strips and affixed them to the top of the door frame so when the door is closed it butts up against the strip. I just painted them to match the trim (and did some touch up where the suitcases have been banging) and voila! no more light filtering in around the top of the door. (The new carpet has taken care of light along the bottom edge.)
I think will help a tad with sound migration as well.
One more item off the list.
