It is not. It is a conductor of sound because it absorbs the sound.
Cloth would act as a shock absorber and so it vibrates swallowing the sound energy and so energy cannot be passed through. Hence considered as a good insulator

it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator

insulator
A vacuum is a great sound insulator. Materials that absorb energy such as wool are good insulators as well. I heard of a silicone adhesive that transformed acoustic energies into heat - that was a good insulator if it was used to glue two sheets of something together.
A material that insulates, especially a nonconductor of sound, heat, or electricity. A device that insulates another material or space from something. For instance glass is a good insulator from electricity. The electrons will not flow through glass. Cork is a good insulator from sound. Sound waves have a hard time passing through cork. Wood is a good insulator from heat.
no i think i am right ( i hope )

Polystyrene is neither sufficiently porous nor of sufficient mass to be either a good Sound Absorber, or a Sound Barrier. [Those are the proper technical terms.]
