I live in an apartment. My neighbor stinks of curry. The smell gets in here through this hole. How can I seal it up to prevent odors from getting through? And the wire still needs to pass through to get to the range hood. This is an example picture I found online. In my actual case, the hole is behind the range hood not underneath it.

Install an appropriate electrical outlet and seal it. Then put a plug with strain relief on the range hood wires.
>>
You need a box there, can't just bury the wires. I would remove the fan and re-do things properly, put a plug in your upper cabinet and run the wires from the hood fan up there with an actual plug attached to it. Then tape up the hole or buy a box of tiles. If you are renting ignore the above and call your landlord.

Pull the pig ties into the rang hood with a strain relief. Then drywall patch the hole.
>>
If you're just sealing a hole around a wire, you could spray foam it, caulk it, or butterfly a small piece of drywall.
>>
You could just force your neighbors to stop making curry, or better yet force them to move out. Higher return on investment.

One word: 3d printer.
When you have a 3d printer everything looks like a nail.

explain?

You model and print a cover and hot glue that bitch in place to seal gaps in a non-permanent way.

what if I just caulked a piece of cardboard to the wall, with the wire coming through it, then caulked around the wire where it comes through the cardboard?
>>
>>2986582
That will do it, but it won't be as stylish.
Also it won't utilize 3D printing so I can't condone that.
