Well Then, I Guess You Have Heard Bass in Your Room...

So, philosophically, replying to the inquiry, my thought would be, "How much of an elephant does it take to fill a room? Let's say you have an 8'x8' room (small, I know, but necessarily so for illustrative purposes). A mature bull elephant would likely fill this room and some to spare. If the entire beast's back end filled the room then it still might be said that you had an elephant in your room.

Likewise, just because the entire wave does not fit into the room unmolested by walls does not mean the wave cannot emanate from the driver/source and extend naturally until it hits a wall.

If music traveled through a solid medium then you would be correct. However, since it propagates through air the size of room restriction does not apply. Thus, the good analogy of headphones.
