soundproof + noun

用法筆記
Use 'soundproof' before a noun or after a linking verb: 'a soundproof room' and 'the room is soundproof' are both natural. It describes blocking sound from passing through a structure, not simply being quiet.
常見錯誤
Do not use 'soundproof' to mean 'silent'. A quiet room may still fail to be soundproof if outside noise can pass through the walls.
For a completed treatment, use the past participle 'soundproofed': 'The walls were soundproofed last year.'
