Question

Suppose your class invites a person to give a speech. When you test out the sound system in the gym you find there are so many echoes the speaker cannot be understood. What needs to be done to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

You either need to lower the volume so the sounds intensity is lessened. Or you can pad the walls to absorb the sound rather than defect.

Explanation:

Sound intensity allows it to be heard further, but in an enclosed room it will start returning. Sound will deflect off of hard objects do to its interactions with solids. A softer and foamy material can dampen it.
