Textbook brain teaser

Does sound loudness affect the time for an echo to return?

کیا آواز کی بلندی بازگشت کے واپس آنے کا وقت بدلتی ہے؟

Solution & explanation

Not appreciably for ordinary sound in the same conditions. Echo time t = 2d/v depends on distance and sound speed, not directly on amplitude. A louder sound may make an echo easier to detect, which is a change in audibility rather than travel time.
