Soundproofing home office
Hello! Both hubby and I work from home in different rooms. As one of us is on the phone the whole day, it would be really beneficial to soundproof our home office to allow the other person to work without interruptions and noise. Is there a soundproofing company or strategy you can recommend?
Thanks in advance!

I wrote up a failed attempt to soundproof an office, with lots of things that only helped a little:

Nowadays, I just run a white noise machine between our offices, and use a good microphone (elgato wave3) that only picks uo my voice.
If i was going to try soundproofing again, I’d focus on improving the walls, adding in the insulation foam, and I’d position the door to be as far as possible from other office. Lots of sound leaks through door.
Try a sound machine ("white noise") inside the door of the person who wants quiet. Relatively inexpensive, and you could even try out the idea with an app.
