The walls are to help reduce excess sound. If you have a big open room in your home such as a garage go in there and clap once. Listen to the way the room echoes that one clap. Then go to a smaller room or closet with a lot of stuff in it and clap again. The echoes will be a lot less. That's pretty much the same as a recording studio would work.

When you are recording you don't want extra sounds bouncing all over the place like in a large empty garage. Studios will use a lot of different things to help get rid of that noise. Some of it is caused by the material of the wall or floor istelf. Concrete is horrible, and is often covered by rugs or carpet. Dry-wall is also not good. There are a lot of different materials that can be put on a wall to help reduce the excess noise in a room. In Hustle and Flow they used drink crates. Not the best, but will definitely help.

Along with treatment on the walls, when new studios are built (or renovated) they will typically build the walls differently. Instead of having a square room, the room will have angles which will help reduce reflected sounds.
