soundproofed
Blocks outside noise
Soundproofed describes a space treated to block or absorb sound, preventing noise from entering or escaping: The recording studio was fully soundproofed.
Walls, floors, and ceilings can be soundproofed with insulation, dense materials, or air gaps.
The term applies both to professional acoustic treatment and to DIY efforts: We soundproofed the basement so the band practice wouldn't bother the neighbors.
