We've had good luck with a closet turned into a phone booth. It is small (about 5'x5'), has a heavy wooden door without a window, foam sealing where the door meets the frame, and a sweep to block the gap under the door, carpet on the floor, and a chair. We have white noise speakers both inside and outside it. It's not a place where you'd want to spend more than an hour, but provides a good sense of privacy for skype calls, and you can only hear loud voices through it. We've considered building another one next to it, but would definitely insulate and double up on sheetrock. Jerome, what brand of pre-fab phone booths do you like?
