How can I reduce locker noise in a quiet office environment?

Locker noise comes from three sources: door slamming (metal-on-metal), casters rolling on hard floors, and contents shifting inside. Mitigation techniques: (1) Install soft-close door bumpers — self-adhesive rubber or silicone bumpers on the door frame reduce door slam noise by 80%; (2) Use carpet casters if lockers have wheels; (3) Line the interior bottom panel with a thin rubber mat to cushion contents; (4) Locate the locker bank in a vestibule, alcove, or adjacent to the pantry so noise is contained away from focus-work areas; (5) Laminate locker doors absorb slightly more sound than bare steel doors. These measures together make a typical locker bank acceptable even in open-plan offices with moderate acoustic sensitivity.
