What are some ways to easily reduce the sound coming into a bedroom.

Ok, a little about my situation. Im 15, going to college in 3 years. My bedroom is in a place in my house that was designed to be a dining room, but my room is here instead, therefore I have 2 doors. One door goes to the hallway and one door goes to the kitchen so there is always a lot of sound coming out of the kitchen and it really gets on my nerves. I complain to my mom and ask her if I can get a different door or something of the sort and she says “no, you will be going to college soon and there is no reason for me to spend 100+ dollars on that”, plus she also doesn’t really want to replace the door because it would be hard to find a new one that fits, but that is another story.
So, anyway I need to find something somewhat easy, cheap (under 100 dollars), and effective. Keep in mind it doesn’t have to COMPLETELY get rid of the sound, just reduce it so I can get some sleep past 10 in the morning.
Thanks

earplugs maybe.lol :-p
u cud use curtains or drapes to cover the windows and doors in that room to drown out the sound. dont think it’ll bother any1.
if ur room has wooden floors u can use a rug, carpets or mats to put down on the floor so u dont hear any1 stomping
if al els fails mayb u cud move2another room by sharing with sm1els or wteva u think is best coz im all out of ideas. lol
sweet dreams. :-p

My brother put egg crate foam on his door and he said it helps alot, but it’s on the outside and if yours is facing the living area you might get turned down by the parental units. Try ear plugs. That’s what i use. Or my ipod with ambient sound recordings. Nice.

I feel your pain. I had an apt for a short while in a very noisy situation in Manhattan. I slept to a white noise maker. It saved my sanity. You can adjust it to what ever sound appeals to u and to any volume.
