Sound always need a medium to travel whther it be solid, liquid or gas. If we use several layers to build a shield, sound may not be able to penetrate. But it depends on the nature of the sound too. The audible sound which we can hear will not able to penetrate through several layered structures. But high frequency ultrasonic waves can penetrate even cement blocks.
