If sound moves faster (better?) through dense materials such as wood or metal as compared to air (over ten times quicker through glass i believe) then what's the "scientific" explanation for why putting a sheet of glass or some other barrier between you and the speaker ends up quietening the sound down?
Is it because the glass or whatever is "absorbing" some or a lot of the sound waves? How is this reconciled with the fact that it is also moving faster?
