Hi Mordechai,
The seal is automatic - it closes when you close the door, and opens when you open it.
Some seals are also made from vinyl.
Sealing doors is not just an acoustics problem - it has to do with heat insulation (air convection can cause major heat problems), with dust, dirt and so forth. Therefore it is a standard practice.
So, by going to a good hardware store and talking to the salesperson there you should be able to get detailed instructions on how to seal the bottom AND the sides. It will be much more effective than me writing it.
A bottom drop seal should cost about 100 NIS, maybe less.
