Househacking Privacy Tips and Renovations

I'm planning my second househack and this time I want more privacy and separation from the other tenant(s).
Do you have any tips or recommendations for achieving that? 

I'm thinking about things like soundproof insulation, but I'd love to hear other ideas. For example, I've considered features like separate entrances for each unit. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

    Quote from @Sidney Duquette:

    Newer homes have firewalls between units and will provide better soundproofing.

    Nose travels much less in side-by-side units. Up/down units can be terrible for noise.
