Since sound reflects off of soft surfaces better, it can reflect off of metal, walls, wood, paper, and a bunch of more soft surfaces.
Echoes occur only with hard surfaces because they reflect sound waves effectively. Soft surfaces absorb sound waves, preventing them from bouncing back and creating an echo.
The natural property of the material has that ability. Alot of objects absorb wound, for example the sides of your stereo are sound insulators. However, not all have the same or even this ability at all. As for soft and rough, they most likely won't play a factor, therefore you should look into the material of objects to possibly determine the insulation of sound.
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.
In a furnished room, sound-absorbing materials like curtains, carpets, and furniture can dampen and absorb sound waves, making them less likely to reflect off surfaces and be heard clearly. Additionally, the presence of soft furnishings can reduce echo by preventing sound waves from bouncing around the room and creating prolonged reverberation.
Materials such as glass, water, concrete, and metal are good reflectors of sound due to their dense and solid properties that allow sound waves to bounce off easily. Additionally, smooth and hard surfaces tend to reflect sound better than soft and absorbent surfaces.
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.
Echoes occur only with hard surfaces because they reflect sound waves effectively. Soft surfaces absorb sound waves, preventing them from bouncing back and creating an echo.
An echo is formed by sound waves bouncing back off of solid surfaces. The greatest effect happens in small empty rooms with few or no soft furnishings. Soft furnishings absorb sound waves and so would counteract the effect.

Materials such as glass, water, concrete, and metal are good reflectors of sound due to their dense and solid properties that allow sound waves to bounce off easily. Additionally, smooth and hard surfaces tend to reflect sound better than soft and absorbent surfaces.
Soft materials have a porous structure that allows sound waves to penetrate and get trapped inside, reducing the sound's ability to bounce or reflect. In contrast, hard materials reflect sound waves, causing them to bounce off surfaces and remain in the environment. This difference in how sound waves interact with soft and hard materials contributes to the soft material's better sound absorption properties.
To effectively remove echo from a room, you can use sound-absorbing materials like carpets, curtains, and acoustic panels to reduce sound reflections. Additionally, adding furniture and soft furnishings can help absorb sound waves and minimize echo.
Factors such as building materials, shape of the room, presence of furniture and decorations, and the amount of sound absorption can affect the acoustics of a building. Hard surfaces like concrete and glass can create more echo and reverberation, while soft materials like carpets and curtains can absorb sound. The layout of the space and presence of sound reflective surfaces can also impact how sound travels within the building.
