Empty rooms echo because soft furniture absorbs sound
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
If you enjoy the sound of your own voice bouncing off walls, you can thank the lack of physical upholstery. Bare, hard surfaces reflect acoustic energy with almost zero loss in intensity. The moment you introduce soft cushions, drapery, or carpets, the porous fibers aggressively trap the kinetic energy of the sound waves, converting them into a negligible amount of thermal energy and killing your beloved echo.
One discovery leads to another.
