A new, dynamical model is presented which can explain the anomalously strong attenuation reported for ballistic phonons propagating through the (001) inversion layer of Si. The crux is an interference effect between phonon amplitudes backscattered from the two-dimensional electron gas and amplitudes specularly reflected from the Si-SiO₂ interface.
