What is the distance that a person can hear the echo of a sound?

It is difficult to say how far the human ear can pick up sounds. The distance a human ear can hear varies according to the condition of the ear, the frequency of the sound, and other sounds taking place at the same time.

Name a famous location where a person can hear the echo of a sound?
The Grand Canyon.
How far does a sound travel when you hear an echo?
The distance sound travels before you hear an echo depends on various factors such as the environment and the surfaces it reflects off. Generally, sound can travel up to approximately 17 meters (56 feet) before the echo becomes noticeable.
Why is an echo weaker than original sound?
You hear the echo as if from a longer distance; the sound energy gets dispersed over a larger area. Part of the energy will also be absorbed in the wall or whatever reflects the sound.
When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?
When a sound wave is reflected, you hear an echo.
What locations can a person hear the echo of a sound?
the answer is c. at least 16.6 meters in front of the reflecting surface!
When a sound wave is reflected you hear a?
Echo
Why is a person unable to hear an echoe in a furnished room?
There is no where for the sound wave to reflect
What do you hear when sound bounces off the wall?
An echo
What is the minimum distance of echo?
Depends on the quality of the sound. The minimum distance to hear an echo will be partly based upon the observers ability to resolve different sounds (i.e. so that they can distinguish between the actual noise, and the arrival of the reflected sound - a little 100 year old lady may not be as good as a 15year old!). This will vary between observers, as their auditory reaction times vary In the perfect Physics world though: Assuming a sharp sound (like a gunshot) the minimum distance (d=vt) to hear distinct echo is 17.2m considering the speed of sound to be 344ms. In general the "minimum echo distance" is always equal to half a wavelength from the reflector.
When you hear an echo you are hearing a of the original sound wave.?
It is a reflection.
If a person in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected the person would hear a sound that?
If a person is in front of a smooth surface from which a sound is reflected, the person would hear a sound that ====================================================== Allow me to add(: SEEMS TO COME FROM BEHIND THE SURFACE:>
What is the minimum distance to get an echo?
Depends on the quality of the sound. The minimum distance to hear an echo will be partly based upon the observers ability to resolve different sounds (i.e. so that they can distinguish between the actual noise, and the arrival of the reflected sound - a little 100 year old lady may not be as good as a 15year old!).
