January 20, 20233 yr There is a door we would like to soundproof, or at least insulate phonically to the extent possible: it leads to a narrow open staircase leading to the attic, which is currently a somewhat creaky place, and will probably remain so to some small extent, in spite of our determined efforts. The problem is that we also wish to install a cat door in the lower part of the doors. My architect says one cannot do both. Are there such a thing as a cat door that does not make sound insulation of the human door around it pointless?

The nearest you will get is a passivhaus one, there is a good link between insulation for thermal and sound. http://www.marshflattsfarm.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/PetWalk.jpg

(A tunnel with drapes, say?)
