sound travels in waves. If you have a hard, smooth, flat surface, the sound waves will bounce right back, without absorbing anything. However, if you have a soft irregular surface, the vibrations are easily trapped in the material.
It's a pretty vague explanation, but

What happens when sound waves hit a soft surface?
Part of the energy of a sound wave is absorbed when it comes in contact with a surface, and the rest of that energy is reflected. A soft surface (such as carpet) will absorb much more of the sound than a hard surface (concrete), but the hard surface would still absorb some amount of energy.
What is required for a sound wave to be reflected?
It has to have a hard surface to bounce off of. :)Apex Not necessarily. The reflector is the surface of a medium of greater density than that through which the incident sound travels, and it can be the surface of water, or a density-boundary caused by sharp temperature or salinity differences in the sea.
Why do walls amplify sound?
Hard reflexions from walls reflect the sound and add it to the direct sound. That gives amplification of the total sound.
What cover the end of some bones to absorb the energy form hard bumps?
cartilage
What are the characteristics of an icicle?
Hard, icy, long or short, thick or thin, big or small, and sharp or blunt.
What kind of object absorb sound the best?
hard stuffs
Does aluminium absorbe sound?
This much depends on the properties of the plastic. Foam will reflect little and absorb much. Hard plastic will reflect much and absorb little. Soft plastic will absorb more than hard plastic and reflect more than foam. Regards.
Are hard or soft surfaces best at reflecting sound?
Hard surfaces are better at reflecting sound because they do not absorb the sound waves as much as soft surfaces do. Soft surfaces, like carpets or curtains, tend to absorb more sound, causing less reflection.
What does clacking mean?
To make an abrupt, sharp sound, as in the collision of two hard surfaces
Can sound travel around corner?
Sound certainly can travel around corners. Sound can also travel through hard surfaces like walls and bathroom surfaces as well.
What does clacker mean?
The quick slap together of two hard surfaces, like wood ... creates a sharp sound, like a loud "Clack".
What is a hard consonant?
A hard consonant is a consonant sound that is produced with a relatively high degree of tension in the speech organs, such as /t/, /k/, and /p/. These sounds are characterized by a distinct, sharp articulation.
Why is the sound reflected in mountain area?
This is because sound travels in waves and rebounds off the hard mountains to reach your ears again. There are limited soft objects that absorb the sound, and therefore an echo occurs. This is the reason why you usually only hear a single echo.
Can walking or moving around the stage while playing the guitar affect how you sound?
Absolutely. There are various curtains hanging about a stage .. at the rear and along the sides .. each will absorb sound, and as that happens, the character of the sound changes. Hard surfaced areas (walls, etc) also greatly affect the sound characteristics.
What matter is hard and sharp?
something that is hard and sharp is scissors
What makes a clang sound?
A clang sound is produced when two hard objects collide with each other, creating a sharp and metallic vibration that resonates through the air. The frequency and intensity of the clang sound depend on the size, shape, and material of the objects involved in the collision.
What hard and sharp?
Glass
