The sound buddies

In audio signal processing and acoustics, an echo (plural echoes) is a reflection of sound, arriving at the listener some time after the direct sound. Typical examples are the echo produced by the bottom of a well, by a building, or by the walls of an enclosed room and an empty room. A true echo is a single reflection of the sound source. The time delay is the extra distance divided by the speed of sound.


This illustration depicts the principle of sediment echo sounding, which uses a narrow beam of high energy and low frequency



what is the only sound in the whole world or even the whole universe that does not echos?
