Will a post door provide enough soundproofing?

I would like to use a pocket door on my half-bath but I am concerned that it will not provide enough sound privacy. This door would be on the foyer side of the bathroom which puts it close to the entry to my living room and dinning room. I think the entry on the foyer side of the bathroom would make it easier to access/find for guests. Right now this location is just drywall (non-supporting wall).

I have a pocket door on my master bath and it is rather flimsy. there are gaps under the door and it doesn't do a good jobkeeping bathroom noise in the bathroom.

Does anyone make a solid, heavy, "tight" door (perhaps that seals in its track when closed? I would not want any gaps under the door or on the sides of the door when closed.

Thanks.
