    A certain resolvent estimate implies point spectrum for discrete linear wave equations with random local propagation speed. The significance of point spectrum in this context is that scattering within a random medium produces only localized standing waves. The implication is derived from a general result about multiplicative perturbations of a self-adjoint operator. The estimate implies point spectrum for almost every value of the perturbation parameter.
