The doors depicted in the photo will leak sound bigtime. Our builder charged us $1,393 to add a double sliding solid door (2x 2040mm x 820mm - 1.64 wide) in a space that was previously hollow. If you used laminate glass or double glazing it should sound proof it somewhat, but laminate glass is probably going to add 30% more, whreas double glazing will add maybe 50-100% more to the cost.

FYI, sliding doors are not great at sealing and they are generally big glass panels which are not the best for sound as they will vibrate. Sometimes you cannot get away from having them though.

Does it make any difference if the plan gone to council ? I’m in a similar position except I’m after sliding 3 stacking doors.
