Scoop, I built a new house a couple of years ago and the wife wanted a gas dryer, so that's what she got, we had to have "make up air" brought into the laundry room, we Icynene insulated the house which stops almost all air transfer. Not sure if that is possible for you as I don't know the layout of your house, but I close the door too as I HATE listening to it.
If its possible for you, have an AC guy install a vent in the ceiling and run a duct out to the soffit, as long as you have a vented soffit.
