Oren, we actually build in phone cubes during the construction phase of a site. They're about 4' x 5', 2x6 top and bottom plate with 2x4 staggered studs for better sound insulation. Then they're insulated and sheetrocked. We put something soft on the walls for absorption, and the light/ventilator in the ceiling provides enough background sound. The door has insulated glass, there's a window, and a 12 - 14" shelf across for phone and laptop. We put in a tall stool.
