reverberant
Full of echoes
Reverberant describes a space or sound characterized by reverberation—the persistence of sound through repeated reflection off surfaces.
A reverberant room echoes; sounds linger and overlap rather than dying away cleanly.
The reverberant acoustics of the cathedral made every whisper audible.
The word appears most often in discussions of architecture, recording studios, and concert halls.
