Like all waves, sound waves can be reflected. Sound waves suffer reflection from the large obstacles. As a result of reflection of sound wave from a large obstacle, the sound is heard which is named as an echo. Ordinarily echo is not heard as the reflected sound gets merged with the original sound. Certain conditions have to be satisfied to hear an echo distinctly.

Answer:

Explanation:

We can't hear echos in our ordinary surrounding because we all know that the reflected sound is called echo and it only reflect when a object or surfaces are more than 17 cm away from the direct sound source, our surrounding have so many things. So, clearly sound is absorbed and we can not hear echos

You ordinary surroundings are generally not conducive to the echoing of sound. If you remove all the furniture, carpeting, curtains and personal belongings from your home, you will hear an echo. The same is true of a school or office.
