Smack on one end of a dense object like a steel girder or a railroad track, 
and you'll hear it VERY far away.  Put a break of density between smack site 
and ear site (like an air gap) and you'll break the transmission of the 
vibrating.  I believe foam acts similarly, thus the terrific souond proofing 
of foam earplugs.
