the receiver, and everything it encounters as it travels along the way, constitutes the path.

tone A sound in a single frequency. A sound in a narrow band of frequencies that is significantly greater than the sound at adjacent frequencies would be similar to a tone.

transmitted sound The sound that travels though a barrier.

transmission loss (TL) A term used to measure the effect of a barrier on reducing the amount of transmitted sound. It is the ratio of sound power on the receiver side of a barrier to the sound power on the source side.
