Proverb. Please... if it's possible, write a comment in the note how your equivalence to this saying should be translated --> English. (word-by-word)

In order to understand this Latvian proverb correctly, the English version should be translated as: "An empty flank running down makes a noise to be heard far away."
If translated word by word: "An empty flank gives a sound far away."
