Answer

The persistence of sound in an auditorium as a result of repeated reflections is known as reverberation.

To reduce reverberation, the roof and walls of the auditorium are generally covered with sound-absorbent materials like compressed fibreboard, rough plaster or draperies. The seat materials are also selected on the basis of their sound absorbing properties
