Believe it or not wool is a solid. Its fibers vibrate when sound approaches it therefor the vibrations are used up and there is less sound coming out from the other end of the wool fiber. (I'm Not Sure If Its Al Right But I Do Know that wool does absorb sound and It Can Be Used In Ear Defenders Or Ear Muffs To Cancel Out Noise).
