For doors to function, a gap is required all around the door in order for it to open and close freely on the hinges, however these same gaps can pose both thermal and acoustic insulation problems. The closing of these gaps is achieved with soundproofing door seals. When doors have suitable acoustic seals they ensures that sound does not travel freely though the gaps around the perimeter of the door to the room on the other side.
Soundproofing of doors is necessary for a variety of reasons such as confidentiality or to simply avoid disturbing people nearby.

Here are some typical cases where soundproof door seals will be beneficial.
Accommodation
The doors of guest suits in hotels, guest lodges, flats always lead into common areas such as passagways. Passagways can be noisey, as other guest are leaving or approaching their rooms often talking and laughing loudly.
General noise tyical of a busy hotel such as vacuum machines, elevators etc can all disturb guests trying to relax or sleep in their room. Also the lights from the passage which are left on through the night will shine through the gaps around the door which is undesirable.
Companies
Doors leading into boardrooms, offices and the doors between the offices and factory all require soundproofing to block noise that can disturb or to prevent confidential conversations from being overhead.
Homes
No one wants to hear the noises coming through the door of the toilet, also private moments in the main bedroom suite need to remain private and not be overhead by children who are meant to studying or asleep. TV rooms are frequently used after younger children have gone to sleep and parents would much rather not have to go put them to sleep again after they've been woken up by the TV.
