Sound deadener (7)

I think it could be either:

earplug

muffler

(Other definitions for muffler that I've seen before include "Warming garment" , "Wrap or scarf worn round the neck" , "Thick scarf - silencer (US)" , "Sound deadener" , "Kind of scarf" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
