Best Answer

Echoing. Echoing is produced when sound waves reflect off hard surfaces in a large volume area and are directed back to their source and in oblique directions. This phenomenon can be experienced on a small scale in a large gymnasium, and on a larger scale in nature in canyons and caverns.

What is three dimensional sound?

Three-dimensional sound is an effect, when listening to any audio content over headphones, that gives the listener the illusion of having sounds come from many directions, e.g., from behind, below or above. This effect creates a more realistic, exciting and dynamic listening experience.


Do all frequencies of sound travel with the same velocity?

Yes, they do. The frequency of a sound doesn't effect the speed at which it moves; i.e. approx 330meters per second (through air). For example; a sound with a frequency of 600Hz has the same velocity as a sound with frequency 300Hz, the difference being that the sound at 300Hz would have half as many wavelengths in the same distance from source as the sound at 600Hz.


What is done to auditoriums and churches to reduce undesirable sounds?

We see the use of acoustic tile in large spaces to thermally insulate the structure and to absorb sound. Generally speaking, any acoustic medium that is installed to cut reflected sound (echo) is going to reduce all sound and not "undesirable" sound. But we know that the planned use of acoustic tiles will allow us to make a space that is very "sound friendly" and that can be very useful. Many people can pack into this space and all of them will have a relatively "good" listening experience. The "message" will be carried throughout the space without a lot of detracting reflections.

What does a sitar sound like?

A sitar produces a unique sound that is created by its many strings being simutaniously strummed. The sound can be very high pitched and is usually "buzzy" or has a "springy" effect to it. This effect is called jiwari. They are many styles of tuning a sitar and alter its jiwari and each is slightly different. The buzzy effect of the many sympathetic or resonating strings seems as if it is background music to the more prominant playable strings that sound more like plucking a wire. This sound is very lush and warm. It does not sound like any Western stringed istrument.
