An echo occurs when sound waves reflect off a surface and return to the listener after a delay. This typically happens in large, open spaces where there are hard surfaces, such as mountains, buildings, or walls. The time it takes for the sound to return depends on the distance to the reflecting surface; a longer distance results in a longer delay. For an echo to be distinct, the delay must be at least 0.1 seconds.
