Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indirect sound refers to sound waves that have bounced off a surface before reaching the listener's ear. Direct sound is the sound that travels straight to the listener without any interference or reflection. Virtual sound refers to an image created by the brain when it receives a sound signal from a specific direction. Harmonics refer to the overtones or multiples of a fundamental frequency that determine the timbre or quality of a sound.
