Check that the catch is holding the door properly closed, check
weatherstripping.

The door doesn't fit quite tight. Likely bad weatherstripping Put a
strip of faom weatherstrip between the door and the jam to damp it.

Likely the weatherstripping on both doors. Air is likely being blown in
or out through both doors.
