Just to be clear, foams generally make very poor acoustic barriers as they lack a key property: mass.

Closed cell foam (used as it won't absorb fluids) is used mainly as a decoupler layer between the dampener and the stuff that actually exhibits the physical properties necessary to knock down sound waves: mass loaded vinyl.
