Reverb

Also called: Reverberation

The lingering sound of many reflections off walls or floors, or an audio effect that adds it.

Listen to the direct sound and reverb separately to hear the tail after the original ends.

Often confused with

• Echo / Delay: An effect with spaced repeats heard separately rather than reflections blending into a continuous tail
• Muffled sound: An effect that reduces high frequencies to make sound dull rather than adding reflections
