Understanding the Context

12 When one refers to the act of modifying a physical object so as to make it better at absorbing sound vibrations, is that "damping" or "dampening" the object?

If you need more output current, get a larger inductor, and a switcher IC that can handle more current or one that supports an external MOSFET to handle the current. – Marcus Müller So i want to know what is the meaning of dampening here : unless your output dampening is excellent Thanks.

Muffling is dampening or deadening a sound but the OP is talking about using a louder sound to cover the original-volume sound. It's a subtle difference, but I wouldn't consider that "muffling". Given this we must then determine the question to be answered connotatively.
