sound reflection
Noise bouncing back
Sound reflection is the bouncing of sound waves off a surface.
Hard, smooth surfaces like walls and cliffs reflect sound efficiently, creating echoes; soft or irregular surfaces absorb it.
Acoustical engineering manipulates sound reflection to optimize concert halls, recording studios, and auditoriums.
The canyon's sound reflection produced a perfect echo.
