Can you show
me a more dependable source that says that interference and
diffraction involving sound waves is not caused by the medium through
which they are traveling.

Yes, certainly. Would you like a reading reference? The Berkeley
series of introductory physics books has a lovely volume about Waves
(McGraw-Hill College, ISBN 0070048606) that gives a *much* more
dependable presentation of what causes interference than the pages you
referenced. Though, apparently you have difficulty reading things that
aren't there in the web pages, so I'm not sure how you'll fare with
the book.

Whatever. I have given evidence that it is a common understanding in
physics that the medium through which waves travel causes wave
characteristics such as interference and refraction. You need to
prove otherwise, or concede that you are wrong.
