Sentence Review?

"Most vibration / sound transfer from a room to the outside occurs through mechanical means."

Are there other means to transfer sound (which is a mechanical wave and by definition it needs a medium) other than mechanical?

The writer meant: mechanical as opposed to sound transfer through air, is how I understood it. 121.247.68.245 (talk) 17:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

"pretty straight forward"

There were a couple of times where the article uses the phrase "pretty straight forward" in describing a certain topic (eg: "The use of distance to dissipate sound is straightforward.")

There is no need to say it is "straightforward". It doesn't help those who are looking the information up, and in fact, if it is "straightforward", why would we need an entry for it? To me, this reads as the author's ego condescending on the reader who "doesn't know the mysterious secret world of sound". Doesn't do any good. I say this be part of the community and coming across such egos often enough.

Whether or not that was the intention of the author of this phrase, the use of this phrase has no informational value, and perhaps has a little counter-productive value, so I've deleted them. 24.84.229.90 (talk) 21:50, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

"reducing the amplified reflection in the source room."

What does this even mean? Should it instead read "reducing the amplified reflection FROM the source room"? Spreadlove5683 (talk) 21:14, 1 June 2021 (UTC) I'm just going to change the article. In the 1% chance this is incorrect, someone change it back and please explain why. Spreadlove5683 (talk) 22:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Spreadlove5683, I assume amplified must refer to a sound reinforcement system. I've edited to remove this and try to explain things better. ~Kvng (talk) 11:31, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
