Soft surfaces are your friend! Thick rugs on the floor, heavy curtains or drapes over windows (even if you also have blinds), and fabric wall hangings or tapestries can absorb a surprising amount of sound. Bookshelves packed with books along a shared wall also help dampen noise. Every little bit helps.
Acoustic foam panels are relatively inexpensive and can be attached to walls (or even put on a stand). They won't block sound completely but can reduce echo and dampen some frequencies, making your space quieter and improving call audio. Look for higher density foam for better results. Some even look quite stylish these days.
