"If you play guitar A and the listener is behind huge guitar B, is the sound not diminished by the time it filters through to reach the listener?"
After some thought based on my experience and no other answer, I'd say "No" - no more than if the B were not there at all. Have you also never noticed that when a guitar is played, on any acoustic guitar close by, the strings vibrate and you can feel the vibrations via the sound box?
The sound will move in more than just a simple direct line. In the case of this event, you can already hear echoes from buildings surrounding the park. People can clearly hear the annoying noise several hundred meters away through double glazed windows in high rise modern concrete buildings. This is at a level well above the 5 metre high suggested wall. You'd need a wall 50 metres high ...
