soundproofs
Muffles outside sounds
Soundproofs means makes resistant to the passage of sound.
Someone soundproofs a room by adding insulation, acoustic panels, or other barriers that block or absorb noise: She soundproofed the basement before setting up her drum kit.
The goal is typically to prevent sound from entering or escaping a space.
