- jacquesm 5y agoA reflection can easily be louder than the original sound, but the longer time-of-flight allows the ear to distinguish between the two. That's how even in a hall with echoing walls you can still pinpoint a soundsource with relatively high accuracy.
- datameta 5y agoThe first chapter of The Sound Book by Trevor Cox goes into great detail about this (but without getting deep into the math of it). Well worth the read for those interested in the acoustics of architecture and our perception of how it modifies the soundscape.
