sound isolation
Blocking external noise
Sound isolation is the reduction or elimination of sound transmission between spaces.
Unlike soundproofing, which often implies complete silence, sound isolation acknowledges degrees of separation: The studio's sound isolation kept drum tracks from bleeding into vocal recordings.
Recording studios, apartments, and home theaters use sound isolation techniques—dense materials, air gaps, decoupled structures—to contain or exclude unwanted noise.
