When sound comes into contact with a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The amount of sound that is absorbed or reflected depends on the properties of the surface, such as its texture and material. Sound can also cause vibrations in the surface, which can affect how the sound is perceived.

How does sound produce an echo?
When sound waves hit a hard surface, such as a wall or a cliff, they bounce off that surface and return back to the listener's ears. This reflection creates the sensation of hearing the sound again after a slight delay, which is known as an echo. The distance between the source of the sound and the reflective surface, as well as the distance between the surface and the listener, determines the time delay and strength of the echo.
What energy makes the sound of a cymbal come?
Sound from a cymbal comes from vibrations. f
What is a sound reflecting off a surface or other material?
When a sound wave hits a surface, it may bounce back rather than pass through it. This bouncing of sound waves off a surface is called sound reflection. The angle at which the sound wave hits the surface affects how it reflects.
A sound that is repeated?
A sound that is repeated is referred to as an echo. This generally happens in a cavern or valley, where the sound bounces from a far surface and comes back. When sounds are repeated in writing, it's called alliteration. For instance, "Sally sold seashells by the seashore".
What is a gramophone needle called?
A gramophone needle is also commonly referred to as a stylus. It is the tiny point that comes into contact with the grooves on a vinyl record to produce sound.
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 the sound absorption rate of human body?
The rate of sound absorption of an object, surface or body is called the "Absorption Coefficient" which relates to the amount of sound absorbed by the surface. see this chart for details http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/pages/Coefficient%20Chart.htm
How does the vibration of a drum head cause a sound wave to form?
By passing the vibrations directly to the air in contact with its surface.

How does the reader know Eckels is afraid in the sound of thunder?
When he first comes into contact or sees the T-rex for first time
How is sound refected from surfaces?
Sound is mechanical energy. The energy displayed by the source is transferred into the medium through which it travels. When the wave, that moving energy, comes into contact with a surface, some of the energy is transferred into the surface. But how much? The more solid and "less moving" the surface (seen on a tiny scale), the less the moving air waves, those compression and rarifaction waves, can transfer energy into the surface. And that's what it's all about. The "softer" the surface, the more those pressure waves in air can affect that surface and transfer their energy into it.
What is causing a gurgling sound and smoke coming out of the air vents?
It is not smoke. It is steam. Moisture is making the gurgling sound and moisture coming in contact with a warmer surface (the coil) is evaporating making steam.
What energy makes the sound of a cymbal come?
Sound from a cymbal comes from vibrations. f
What is the sofar layer?
At the low and middle latitudes, the SOFAR channel axis lies between 600-1200 meters below the sea surface. It is deepest in the subtropics, and it comes to the surface in high latitudes, where the sound propagates in the surface layer.
What is a sound reflecting off a surface or other material?

What is a homophone that means a top surface of a room?
ceiling -- a homophone for ceiling is sealing A word is not a homophone because of it's meaning but because of it's sound. The word comes from the Greek homos "same" + phone "sound"
Does a reflection bounce off of a sound waves surface once the sound waves hit the surface?
no
