soundproof
Impervious to sound
Soundproof means impervious to sound—blocking noise from passing through.
A soundproof room or studio is designed to prevent sound from entering or escaping, typically using dense materials and sealed construction.
As a verb, to soundproof is to make something resistant to sound transmission: We soundproofed the basement before setting up the drum kit.
