Maybe felt or rubber strips could absorb some of the noise.
Silicone caulk would solve the problem. The library can get a tube for $6 at Home Depot. You could even use the bath and kitchen version, which is clear, however it isn't made for doors. The one made for doors is white, which might be unattractive when using it as a noise-proofing barrier between the door and the frame.

One doesn't need to be a construction engineer or architect or handyman to figure this stuff out. One only needs to have once been a housewife at some point in the last 4 decades.
