And there wasn't a lot of reverberation in the room.

There's no big room to create reverberation and confuse the rhythms.

This is affected massively by reverberation time, how reverberant a room is.

What does it cost to treat a classroom down to that 0.4 second reverberation time?

In a classroom with a reverberation time of 1.2 seconds, which is pretty common, this is what it sounds like.

You hear the reverberation as the sound travels over long range in the ocean and is not quite as loud.

I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine kicking in, but I remember this moment... in the dark with the reverberation of the machine.

But because of the reverberation in those rooms like Carnegie Hall, the music had to be maybe a little less rhythmic and a little more textural.

If you close your eyes right now in this room, you're aware of the size of the room from the reverberation and the bouncing of the sound off the surfaces.

It was clearly and unmistakably his earlier voice, but in it was intermingled, as if from below, an irrepressibly painful squeaking, which left the words positively distinct only in the first moment and distorted them in the reverberation, so that one didn't know if one had heard correctly.

These are men and women who can sense the presence of distant atolls of islands beyond the visible horizon, simply by watching the reverberation of waves across the hull of their vessel, knowing full well that every island group in the Pacific has its unique refractive pattern that can be read with the same perspicacity with which a forensic scientist would read a fingerprint.
