Wall thickness/material for loading to happen

[zman01]

Sorry if this has been already asked before.

My question is around room wall thickness for loading effect to start happening. For normally constructed walls of the household, corner loading or back wall loading works. But what about thin partitions? Does placing a speaker beside a tall closet result in corner loading? Would glass partitions give any back wall loading effect?

Even canvas provides some loading. Heavy rigid surfaces are nice,
but not truly necessary.

Interesting. I had previously thought only solid, rigid (and heavy) structures would work. Thank you for sharing.
