OBS

Lorsque les ondes rencontrent le panneau, l'énergie sonore même faible, est suffisante pour que la porte entre en vibration et transmette son mouvement aux particules d'air dans la pièce voisine. Dans ce cas, l'affaiblissement ne dépasse pas une vingtaine de décibels. En pratique, pour être efficace aux basses fréquences, une porte doit peser au moins 70 à 80 kg.
