That is a PERFECT explanation.
Much better than my ’cause it does’
ScienceMum I think it is more than just echo. I am guessing some standing waves plus constructive and destructive interference……
Yes, I’m sure there is all sorts of interference, and I’ll edit to link to something on that. But there’s definitely an echo happening, and she’s 4 🙂
I also wondered about echoes during my childhood days. Did you also tried shouting in front of the electric fan and hearing funny voice feedback?
