It is shown that specific interference processes emerging in an anharmonic layered lattice in the localization regime leads to a considerable renormalization of the reciprocal phonon lifetime. This mechanism may dominate over the standard anharmonic mechanism. The coefficient of low-frequency sound attenuation in an insulator with diagonal disorder is discussed.
