If you can get some Styrofoam sheet insulation, (4x8x 1/2" sheets) and staple or tape it to the doors, I think that would deaden the sound quick and easy. Try the big box stores Home Depot or Lowe's, get the fire retardant rated material, about $10/ sheet. I doubt that would do much.

A quilt will help some, but will make the door feel heavier than cork will. Sound does not come through doors alone, so if your walls are thin, sound blocking a door will help some, but not alleviate all sound.
