You may be confusing sound proofing with acoustic treatment. Sound proofing is just preventing sound from escaping a room which sounds like OP’s goal. Acoustic treatment is how the sound behaves within the room in which case you are correct, overly ‘dead’ rooms generally sound quite bad.

OP what is the purpose of the booth and why does it need to be modular? If it’s for music you likely only need about 60db of actual reduction. You will still need some heavy mass to achieve that though, especially if you have any sound sources producing low frequencies. Something like a vocal booth would be easier. FWIW I’ve built two recording studios in the past and I’m currently working on a new one here in BC so I may be able to help.
