Make it soundproof and take my money.

Are you trying to stop sound getting in or getting out? In the first case some decent earplugs should be sufficient.
Nathan for You S3.E6 also explored this idea as a hotel amenity for sexually active parents.
The show was wholesome enough that we started watching it with the kids...

...and then that episode came on.

Most awkward family night ever.

No, they are not. Imagine some construction work with heavy drilling outside your bedroom window.
Imagine if, with advances in materials science, that it was. Could we make a 3 meter cube that was acoustically isolated from the rest of the world? Then they could do all the heavy drilling they want.
In this case, it's not just sound vibrations but vibrations that you can feel in your house and bed! Truly difficult. Double or staggered stud walls really help.
