Avoiding squares is reasonable advice when coupled with the OTHER advice to avoid dimensions in ratio multiples. Like 3:2 or 4:1
And while I generally respect Geezer's input, I don't know where his link got those 'ratios'. The ONE ratio which seems to work best would be PHI = 1.618 and is the result of crunching the numbers in the Fibonacci Series. Buildings from the Great Pyramid to the UN building have used that ratio as part of the design process.

Something like THIS room mode calculator might be of benefit.

Also, IF you can, when doing new construction, use the 'staggered stud' technique so the 2 sides of a common wall are decoupled from one another. Some sound absorbant material woven between the studs at that point will help even more.
