echo

Acoustics / Electroacoustics. An echo is a repetition or a partial repetition of a sound due to REFLECTION. REVERBERATION is also reflected sound, but in this case, separate repetitions of the original sound are not distinguishable.

echo. [ ĕk′ō ] A repeated sound that is caused by the reflection of sound waves from a surface. The sound is heard more than once because of the time difference between the initial production of the sound waves and their return from the reflecting surface. A wave that carries a signal and is reflected.

And the further away that surfaces the later or longer the echo or delay now in music we usually don't say echo that much we mostly use that term delay.

An echo is a sound which is caused by a noise being reflected off a surface such as a wall. He listened and heard nothing but the echoes of his own voice in the cave. [ + of] Synonyms: reverberation, ringing, repetition, answer More Synonyms of echo.

Delay is a time-based audio effect that captures an incoming audio signal and plays it back after an allotted period of time. If the signal is delayed for more than about 30 ms, the listener will hear it as a distinct “echo” following the original (“dry”) sound.

Sound and echo seem to be similar concepts, but they are not. They are different phenomena of sound. When the sound is repeated when the sound wave is reflected, it is known as echo. Echo is heard when space is large.

An echo is an example of wave reflection. Reflection occurs when waves bounce back from a surface they cannot pass through. Reflection can happen with any type of waves, not just sound waves. For example, light waves can also be reflected.

Reverb/echo on a vocal makes it sound more realistic or “warmer” because we're used to hearing each other's voices echo off walls and objects when we talk or sing without amplification.

Now don't worry the sound you heard was just an echo of your voice let me explain what an echo is when we speak or laugh in a big empty hall we hear our own sound repeatedly.

transitive verb. If you echo someone's words, you repeat them or express agreement with their attitude or opinion. Their views often echo each other. Synonyms: recall, reflect, copy, mirror More Synonyms of echo.

Reverberation is the persistence of sound after the sound source has been stopped. It results from a large number of reflected waves which can be perceived by the brain as a continuous sound. On the other hand, an echo occurs when a pulse of sound can be heard twice.

Echo and reverberation are pretty much the same concepts. They are both time-based audio effects resulting from the reflection of sound on hard surfaces. The difference between reverb and echo lies in time. Echo is a long reflection of sound on a far hard surface, while reverb has a way shorter reflection time.
