What is the difference between echo and reverberation?

  • Answer:

    Reverberation is usually associated with a shorter reflection time - i.e. the sound reflects from the room/object, hitting your ear almost immediately after (<100 milliseconds).  Less perceptible as an echo, more as an ambience. If you can perceive the delay between the sound and the reflection of the sound, you might class it as an echo (>100 milliseconds), perhaps against a distant cliff or wall.
