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.

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?

That will do it, but it won't be as stylish.
Also it won't utilize 3D printing so I can't condone that.
