When airborne sound waves hit a water surface, a large portion of the sound's energy reflects back into the air. This reflection is what creates clear echoes across lakes and rivers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; line-height: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eAquatic Centres typically have acoustically noisy environments, with various hard finishes such as tiling and concrete, providing opportunities for reverberated sound to bounce from one surface to another.
