Reduce sound transmission.

Explanation:

A caulking is a flexible material used to seal joints, cracks or gaps formed between building materials and pipes against leakage.

Caulking is recommended around the edges of partitions between apartments to reduce sound transmission.

Hence, in the event that an individual notices that air or sound is gaining entrance into their apartment, a caulking can be used to mitigate this noise or unwanted sound.

The caulking when applied to the gap or edges of partitions between apartments would create a tight seal and block the flow or entry of air, thereby reducing sound transmission.
