a phone ring can be heard across a shut door because there is always some space through the door from where the sound travels and reaches to our ears.

How does putting your ear to the ground help you hear better?
Hearing is a result of vibrations. The sound waves move through the air and vibrate your ear drum. The vibrations are translated by the brain as familiar sounds. Similarly, walls and doors resonate to the same sound waves and act like giant ear drums. By placing your ear to the door, you are effectively able to "transfer" those vibrations from the door (or wall) to your ear and hear, more clearly, what is happening on the other side.

Can sounds go through gases?
Yes, for example: air is made up of several gases (78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 1% Argon, Carbon Dioxide, & Others) and sound travels through it. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear anything, just like in space where there is no gas, and no one can hear you scream.

Is sound louder in a room with its door open or with its door closed please state ur source too?
Sound is not audibly louder in a room with the door open or closed. If I had a volume meter I might be able to measure the sound being slightly louder with it closed because the sound would reflect off a closed door but leave through an open one, but you'll never hear it. I determined this experimentally. First I closed the door to the room and played some Iron Maiden with my speakers turned up halfway. Then I opened the door to the room and played the same song at the same volume setting. It didn't get any quieter in there. The real effect, of course, is OUTSIDE the room. If I open the door and play Maiden, the neighbors hear it better than if I keep it closed and play them.
