What is an Echo?
An echo is a reflected sound that returns after the original sound, helping us understand how sound behaves in different environments.
An echo is a reflected sound that is heard after the original sound, occurring when sound waves bounce off a surface and return to the listener after a noticeable delay. Understanding echoes is essential for assessing how sound behaves in different environments.
In this video, we explain:
• What an echo is and how it occurs
• The difference between an echo and reverberation
• How echoes affect acoustic environments
• Why understanding echoes is important in acoustics
If you’re involved in acoustics, building design, or sound measurement, understanding echoes is essential for analysing and managing sound. Want to explore more acoustics terminology? Visit the AcSoft Ltd Knowledge Hub for practical guides, FAQs, and the full acoustics glossary.
