What causes an audio echo?

An echo is a delayed repetition of a sound that occurs when sound travels from a source, bounces off a surface, and is reflected back to that source. An echo requires space to be perceived clearly – at least 50 feet of distance between the sound source and a surface.

How do I get rid of echo on my mic?

Lower your speaker volume to reduce the echo. If your microphone or audio device is near a wall or other reflective surface that does not absorb sound, consider moving the microphone or changing its direction away from the reflective surface to reduce potential echoes.

How to remove echo from audio using matlab?

Select and plot the section that corresponds to lags greater than zero. The autocorrelation has a sharp peak at the lag at which the echo arrives. Cancel the echo by filtering the signal through an IIR system whose output, w , obeys w ( n ) + α w ( n - Δ ) = y ( n ) .

How does echo cancellation work?

Echo cancellers operate by first analyzing the incoming voice stream and simultaneously monitoring the return voice stream before it's being transmitted. If the echo is detected, the echo cancellation engine subtracts it from the transmitted or received audio signal.
