Generation

Sound reflection occurs when sound waves bounce off a surface, similar to how a ball bounces off a wall. The nature of the reflection depends on the surface—hard, smooth surfaces reflect sound well, while soft, rough surfaces absorb it. An echo is a specific type of sound reflection that you hear as a distinct repetition of the original sound, which happens when the reflecting surface is far enough away (at least 17 meters) that your brain perceives the reflected sound separately from the original. If the surface is closer, the reflected sound blends with the original and you just hear a slightly louder or richer sound called reverberation.
