Every sound is made up by sound waves. When sound is emitted inside a room, whether is generated by the diners of a bar or other sources (loudspeakers, TV, etc.), the sound waves that make up that sound propagate through the air particles inside the room.

When the propagated sound waves find a surface, it a double phenomenon occurs: a fraction of the sound waves is absorbed inside the wall and the rest is reflected.
