Red giant oscillation modes are standing waves that are driven by stochastic energy input from turbulent near surface-convection {\bf \cite{Goldreich_1977,Dupret_2009}}. Waves excited near the stellar surface propagate downward as acoustic waves until their angular frequency $\omega$ is less than the local Lamb frequency for waves of angular degree $\ell$, i.e., until $\omega = L_l = \sqrt{l(l+1)} v_s/r$, where $v_s$ is the local sound speed and $r$ is the radial coordinate. At this boundary, part of the wave flux is reflected, and part of it tunnels into the core.
The wave resumes propagating inward as a gravity wave in the radiative core where $\omega < N$, where $N$ is the local buoyancy frequency. In normal red giants, wave energy that tunnels into the core eventually tunnels back out to produce the observed oscillation modes. We show here that
suppressed depressed modes can be explained if wave energy leaking into the core
never returns back to {\bf is lost from the
stellar envelope. oscillation mode}.
The degree of wave transmission between the core and envelope is determined by the tunneling integral through the intervening evanescent zone. The transmission coefficient is
