Sure the fact that wood resonates more than concrete makes a measurable difference? If you're recording a band playing on a wooden floor, you can feel a whole lot of energy under your feet, on a concrete floor there is very little. Same is true if you lean up against a wooden wall compared to a concrete one. the fact that the surfaces in the room vibrate in sympathy with the vibrating air, must have a measurable impact?

I do however agree that audible differences should be measurable, but I also know that I've never heard a recorded sound that completely represents what my ears can hear - I wouldn't say mics + preamps are that good yet
