        "text": "Soundproofing needs depend on household noise levels, daily video calls, and the confidentiality of your work. Standard interior hollow-core doors and uninsulated drywall partitions allow sound to pass easily between rooms. If your home office sits near a busy kitchen or living area, upgrading to solid-core doors, adding mineral wool insulation within the wall cavities, or installing specialized sound-dampening drywall makes a noticeable difference. Evaluating whether you take frequent client calls or share the home during business hours helps determine how much acoustic isolation is worth including in your remodel.",
