Add A Rubber Band To Door Knobs To Soften Slamming Doors

Everyone has those few doors which are prone to slamming loudly, whether at home or at the office. The trick to softening that noise? A simple rubber band, says Mashable.

Any wide rubber band will do for this, and the tip is so simple to execute that you’ll be done in seconds. You could put in something like a magnetic doorstop to stop slamming doors, but this solution seems easier.
