It may block some sound, but it is rather ineffective as a sound insulator.
The block of Styrofoam would float on the surface of the water because Styrofoam is less dense than water. Its buoyant force is greater than its weight, causing it to stay afloat.
The sound of styrofoam rubbing against each other is often described as a squeaky or squeaking noise.
The block of Styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water. The buoyant force is greatest on the lead. Compared to an empty ship, the same ship loaded with Styrofoam will float lower in the water.
To reduce sound and volume, you can use noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs to block out external noise. You can also lower the volume on devices or sound systems, move to a quieter location, or use soundproofing materials in your environment to absorb or block sound.
Yes, objects can block sound by absorbing, reflecting, or diffusing sound waves. Solid and dense objects are more effective at blocking sound compared to soft and porous materials. Sound may also travel around objects through diffraction or bounce off surfaces through reflection.

That depends on the substance from which it is fabricated. A concrete block is heavier than a styrofoam or tofu block with the same dimensions.
Styrofoam does absorb sound but it reflects it also. It absorbs more than a brick wall but not as much as softer foams. It does make very good heat insulation.
No. Soundproof is a very porous material (having lots of holes) so sound can very easily pass through. There are better alternatives for soundproofing, many of which are generally inexpensive. Green Glue, for example, can be easily applied to the walls and covered with a new layer of drywall. It takes a bit more effort, but the results will be notable.

It depends (on the density what you are measuring). Block of Styrofoam would weigh less than a block of lead.
No. Styrofoam, or polystyrene, does not decompose. Chickens will easily peck it into little bits and swallow it where it may block their intestines and kill them. Styrofoam is a dangerous product for birds and animals.
A block of pumice stone, an iceberg, a log of wood, and so on. Thanks to H Z below, I never even thought of styrofoam.
It is used to "block" the opening in walls and slabs during concrete pouring. This is usually made of wood or styrofoam.
You could use a wooden block, a Styrofoam cone, a birthday party hat... anything like that.
Yes, block has a short "o" sound. "Broke" has a long "o" sound.
