The issue is all the hard surfaces. We’ve had similar problems at work, and a third party advised the following.
The fix is to disrupt the flow of sound. It doesn’t need to be sound proofing, just disruptive so it doesn’t travel / echo.
It’s possible to get acoustic dampening pads you stick to the ceiling / walls. You don’t need to cover the walls / ceiling, just have enough pads to be disruptive.
