Unlike 'insulation', which blocks temperature exchange, soundproofing specifically blocks sound. This word can refer to the physical material (foam panels, dense mineral wool) or to the work of installing it. To avoid ambiguity, use 'soundproofing material' for the product or 'soundproofing work' for the installation process.
