Is there anything I can do to keep my wooden doors from rattling with the wind?

I always have my windows open, and the air cycles through my room. When the door is closed it rattles back and forth on the frame.

Are there door cushions I could throw in there? I looked around and didn't see anything specifically.

huh? what do you mean? you mean like bedroom doors? Or wooden screen doors?

maybe some of the foam weatherstripping around the edges?

It gets way to hot up here, doesn't matter if the windows are open it's always 8038938980 degrees in my room. There is only one open and it's just cracked.

rattles? or sways?

when its closed, it rattles on the latch and the door against the frame.

Try adjusting the catch if you can. The trim that the door rests against is this in good shape and secure? A thin layer of weather stripping would help keep things quiet for a quick fix. Other than that I can only think of ripping the trim off and adjusting the door jam.

Yeah... Adjust the latch so its a tighter fit...
