Answer: Reverberation

Step-by-step explanation:

If a source of sound waves is surrounded by reflecting surfaces, the waves traveling outward from the source in all directions may be reflected from two or more different surfaces, or a single wave may be reflected first from one surface and then from another surface. As a result, a single sound can undergo several reflections, called reverberation. These reflections may or may not be distinct from one another.

The correct is  Reverberation. A reverberation is created when a sound or signal is reflected causing a large number of reflections to build up and then decay as the sound is absorbed by the surfaces of objects in the space – which could include furniture, people, and air.
