Sound or vibration "dampening". Dampening is term that is used to describe the vehicle sound dampening process. Some people will get upset when hearing this term being used to describe soundproofing because one of the meanings of "dampening" is to get a material wet or moist, and they believe that it's incorrect to use the word "dampening", but they are only considering one of the meanings, the other meaning is to decrease or to lessen. In soundproofing, this means to reduce or lessen the sound wave's amplitude. This sounds very familiar to sound damping, and that's why the car industry uses them interchangeably. Same goes for vibration.
