Who is going to notice?
You may get noticed if your vocal quality is significantly different from the shows on both sides of you. You may have nailed that with your studio. There's nothing like a metrobus, trash collection or dog barking in the background to kill your professional presentation. The other thing that can kill you is recording the room. Echoes and reverberation are deadly and we can't fix them in post production.

This woman will always sound like she's recording in her mum's kitchen.

I got rid of that on a temporary basis with furniture moving pads.

One place I worked had a soundproofed conference room.

We would all go to great lengths to record in that room.

Not being able to announce usually surrenders to listening to your own show enough times.
