How can I make my door more sound proof without replacing it? Its made of wood
I share a hall way with some chinese and and they fucking drink and gamble in the hallway all fucking night long. They are pretty loud when they are drunk, I can easily hear it over my tv and in my bedroom.
Any ideas?

cmon this is DIY do something cool insulating a door is lame as fuck
Drill 2 holes in the top of the door. Pour something into the hallow space. Probably don't want to add to much weight so try Styrofoam balls or something. Sand would work if you think the door wounding break apart.

I will guarantee you that those Chinese are from the North because they're known to be obnoxious drunks up there.
An old mattress may help, hopefully won't pull ya door off the hinges

The topic of "how can I soundproof my house" is another one like "how can I build a cheap air conditioner since I can't afford to buy one", it's not a question that really has any answer.
If a building has cheap flimsy doors, then it probably has cheap flimsy walls too--and even buying a solid-wood door is going to have a very limited effect.
OP: go buy some fox urine from a hunting store and when they're not around, dump it in the hall floor in front of their door. It has a horribly strong scent of piss. You may have to take some ventilation measures to deal with the smell too, but hey, at least it'll be quiet. And ching-chong party bois will learn not to hang around anymore.

If you have the resources, I would remove drywall on any section of wall that overlaps with the noisy hallway (might be just around the door?) fill with sound-deadening mineral wool insulation, foam any cavities, etc. I would then get a better door with great weather stripping.
And/or bonus round, I frame a small vestibule around the entrance door, fill that with more roxul, frame in and foam an additional door a foot away from the original with all the insulation and weather stripping I need.

Drill a small hole in the top and pump the whole door with that expanding spray foam insulation shit. That shit expands like crazy so don't go too wild or the whole fucking door could split or warp.
I recommend ear plugs, OP.
Use the cylinder shaped ones that mold to your ears. The tapered ones will fall out of your ear canal when you move.
Also experiment with moving your bed around the room, after using a chair to try to find a 'deader' acoustic spot in your room. Then place your head/bed/board in the corresponding spot.
Run a boxfan towards the door to create some background noise and one in the bedroom too.
It will help cancel some of their voice frequencies and your earplugs will take care of the fans.
