Larger spaces
with bare walls and hard surfaces often receive complaints of a distinctive
ringing sound called echo from people. Results from the bouncing back of sound
waves from a hard surface, an echo can be a real hindrance to improved audio
quality and a conversational environment. When it becomes a problem that can’t
be overlooked, reducing it is the only option space owners have.
If you have been
facing echo problem in your room or office space, here are a few ways you can
overcome it:
Hand
textile or wall art on parallel walls
Since echo is
caused by the bouncing back of sound waves from hard surfaces, by hanging
textile on your walls and other hard surfaces can absorb most of the waves and
reduce echo significantly. However, make sure you choose soft cloth and avoid
hanging heavy oil paint wall art as it can act as a hard surface.
Use
echo reduction material
If you record
music or other acoustic sounds at home or in a studio and don't get the desired
result due to echo, you might to buy high-quality echo reduction materials and install them inside your room or
setup. These materials do an excellent job when it comes to reducing echoes as
they are designed specifically for that purpose.
Install
floor rugs
Many times, a
hard floor is a major reason for an echo. However, installing area rugs on the
floor can be a great way to reduce echo. They absorb sound waves as well as add
warmth to the room.
