When furnishing Lighthaven I was also very surprised how little capsules from capsule hotels optimized around sound isolation. My sense is that it’s partially the result of building codes making it so that the more you make things out of real walls, the more you risk being classified as a room (instead of a piece of furniture), which would make you illegal. Many places like San Francisco also require capsules in capsule hotels to not have any doors, but instead to just use curtains, which also completely trashes sound isolation.

I wonder how call booths manage this? I essentially just want a call booth on its side.
