contents The natural $H^1(Ω)$ energy norm for Helmholtz problems is weighted with the wavenumber modulus $σ$ and induces natural weighted norms on the trace spaces $H^{\pm1/2}(Γ)$ by minimial extension to $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$. This paper presents a rigorous analysis for these trace norms with an explicit characterisation by weighted Sobolev-Slobodeckij norms and scaling estimates, highlighting their dependence on the geometry of the extension set $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$ and the weight $σ$. The analysis identifies conditions under which these trace norms are intrinsic to the isolated boundary component $Γ\subset\partialΩ$ and provides $σ$-explicit estimates for trace inequalities in weighted spaces. In these natural wavenumber-weighted norms, the boundary integral operators allow improved continuity estimates that do \emph{not} deterioriate as $σ\to 0$.
