a remote or indirect consequence of some action; "his declaration had unforeseen repercussions"; "reverberations of the market crash were felt years later"
The way in which a sound bounces around an auditorium after its original source has been cut off The amount depends on auditorium shape, strength of signal, and how much absorption is present
A complex of many reflected sounds occurring in an enclosed space such as a building or cave The effect is often confused with echo which, strictly, is a discrete repeat of a sound event Reverberation occurs to some extent in any place where a sound can occur, but is most noticeable in very large places with many hard reflective surfaces which are at complex angles to one another, such as large churches etc Most people are able to recognise particular types or reverberation and can associate these with imaginary rooms of varying sizes Devices for the artificial creation of reverberation ( sometimes called "room simulation") have been available for some time Initially based on electromechanical devices such as reverb springs or reverb plates, these are now usually digital devices Several distinct phases are observed in the evolution of a reverberative sound and these include pre delay, early reflections, high & low frequency damping, decay
A dense pattern of diffuse and reflected sounds that results when sound is created in an enclosed space The more reflective the walls and surfaces of the listening space, the louder and longer the reverb Reverberation can make music muddy and effect the feeling of spaciousness or ambience (less reverb makes the sound seem more closed in)
A reverberation is the shaking and echoing effect that you hear after a loud sound has been made. Jason heard the reverberation of the slammed door. = echo
The part of reflected sound, also known as late reflections, that follows the early reflections and consists of a succession of echoes that is attenuated exponentially See reverberation diffusion
The simulation of natural reverberation (such as the echoing caused by sound reflection), in order to add a sense of spaciousness and ambience to a sound
The act of reverberating; especially, the act of reflecting light or heat, or reëchoing sound; as, the reverberation of rays from a mirror; the reverberation of rays from a mirror; the reverberation of voices; the reverberation of heat or flame in a furnace
{i} continuation of a sound after the sound source has stopped due to reflection of sound waves within a closed area (Acoustics); act of echoing, resonation; echoed sound; sound effect which produces echoing
Reverberations are serious effects that follow a sudden, dramatic event. The move by the two London colleges is sending reverberations through higher education
