TermDefinitionDemo
Reverberation In a room, it is the sound that has been reflected many times from many objects and surfaces. In large rooms and concert halls the reverberation can last long enough to be heard as a gradual decaying of sound after the source has stopped radiating. So called 'live' rooms have a lot of reverberation. 'Dead' rooms have little.
Reverberation Time The time it takes for reverberation to decay by 60 dB (roughly, to inaudibility) after the sound source has ceased. See: Sabine.
