Perhaps the pressure wave cannot dissapate from the
first holes only. Must continue on until area of holes matches
the area of the pipe. Even then you have the speed of the
wave to allow for, cannot make a sharp turn to exit holes.

Pressure waves have no inertia.  In fact the flow in the pipe goes from out
to in and back again as the wave passes.
