nonechoing

Without any reverberation

Nonechoing describes spaces or materials that absorb rather than reflect sound: a nonechoing recording studio, nonechoing foam panels.

The term appears in acoustics and audio engineering for environments designed to eliminate reverberation.

It also describes sounds that don't produce echoes: Her footsteps were nonechoing on the carpeted floor.
