Do sound waves bounce off objects?
Yes
Do objects block sound?
no, they absorb it or the sound waves bounce off.
Why sound echoes in an empty auditorium?
Sounds seems to echo in an empty room because the sound has only six surfaces to bounce off of. When the sound waves bounce, they bounce right back to the source. However, when there is furniture, pictures, and other objects placed in a room, those surfaces contain just about every different angle, and when sound hits them, they bounce every but back to the source, hence, little to no echo.
How can sound help navigate?
Some animals like bats and dolphins use sound to navigate. They do this by sending out sound waves. These bounce off of objects and come back to the animal. These returning sound waves are interpreted by the brain and create a kid of map for the animal.
How do molecules help to transmit sound?
Molecules vibrate making it easy for sound to bounce off
Do sound waves bounce off objects?

How does sonar detect underwater objects?
Sonar is when you send sound waves out. They bounce off of objects, letting people know there is an object there. Dolphins and bats, among other animals, use sonar.
Can echolocation work in a sound proof room?
Yes. Echolocation works by bouncing waves off of objects. A sound proof room would not allow sound to escape but there are still walls in the room to allow a bat's echolocation to bounce off of and back to the bat.
Why do voices echo?
Voices echo because the sound waves create by the human voice bounce off an object and reflect back to the original source. Echos will usually take place in wide open spaces because the objects are far apart, thereby the sound takes longer to bounce off an object. When in closed spaces that absorb sound like a voice over booth, you will not hear any echo as objects are closer and the sound is being absorbed by soundproofing.

What does absorbing a sound mean?
It mean that sound does not bounce off the surface or is significantly muffled.
How does an echo work?
An echo happens when sound waves bounce off an object. That's why if you scream into a hollow cave, there is an echo. Because the sound waves bounce off the walls and back at you
Does a reflection bounce off of a sound waves surface once the sound waves hit the surface?
no
