Abstract
Wall partitioning between outside and inside of a room has an opening portion closed with a film. Sound insulating plate, comprising a lamination of a sound reflecting plate and a sound absorbing member, is supported in opposed relation to the opening portion and at an interval from the opening portion. Sound transmitted from outside of the room into the room through the film is reflected from the sound reflecting plate and then diffracted via sides of the interval, defined between the sound reflecting plate and the wall, to behind the reflecting plate to reach a human listener. Thus, with a mechanical construction, sound, propagated from outside the room into the room, can be made to be heard as sound of frequency characteristics desired by a human listener present in the room.
