I agree with the door air-tightening. One problem will be the space between the door and the floor.
Some doors have so-called 'planets', a tightening lip that is actuated and lowered to the floor when closing the door. But this maybe belongs to an other universe, because this is high quality building.
As alternative - if the door isn't often used (is it?), is to use a rope-like heavy cushion before the door.I would *not* foam the wall interiors! This stiffens the wall (half OK) but increases coupling of the walls strongly (bad!). And it is not revertible.
An improvement for double drywalls of same thickness, would be a doubling up of the drywall thickness on one wall (not very sensible if you intend to leave that room within the next 5 years), or fill the room in between with *soft* insulation material like some ecological paper snippets insulations, which can be blown int o hollow spaces. But probably you have to come to Europe or Switzerland to get these, hehe (the paradise is not completely rented out by america, we have our corners too...) !!
