acoustic insulation

Sound-dampening material layer

Acoustic insulation is material designed to reduce sound transmission between spaces.

It absorbs or blocks noise rather than temperature, though many insulating materials do both.

The studio installed acoustic insulation to keep street noise out.

Also called soundproofing, though technically soundproofing aims to block sound completely while acoustic insulation may just dampen it.
