Insulation is the property (or material) that separates two materials.

Thermal insulation will separate a hot and a cool place. e.g. cork.

Electrical insulation will separate two electrical components. e.g. rubber, glass.

Sound insulation (properly called a sound barrier), will separate one space from another, as far as sound is concerned.

A Sound absorber is a material used to absorb sound, generally within a space that is too reverberant. But it does not insulate one space acoustically from another.

Why not use an ohm meter to measure the leakage in wire insulation?

An ohm meter measures resistance in a circuit, not leakage in wire insulation. To measure insulation resistance or leakage in wire insulation, you would typically use a megohmmeter or insulation resistance tester, which applies a higher voltage than an ohm meter to test the integrity of the insulation.
