heal bell is unaffected.  uproar still prevents this Pokémon from sleeping.  This Pokémon can still receive a Perish Song counter through baton pass, and will retain a Perish Song counter if it acquires this ability after Perish Song is used.

howl, roar of time, sonic boom, and yawn are not flagged as sound-based.

Soundproofing gives the Pokémon full immunity to all sound-based moves.

Soundproof

When this Pokémon is at full HP, any hit that would knock it out will instead leave it with 1 HP.  Regardless of its current HP, it is also immune to the one-hit KO moves: fissure, guillotine, horn drill, and sheer cold.

If this Pokémon is holding a focus sash, this ability takes precedence and the item will not be consumed.

The Pokémon cannot be knocked out by a single hit as long as its HP is full. One-hit KO moves will also fail to knock it out.
