Why do we hear more clearly in a room with curtains than in a room without curtains?


We hear more clearly in a room with curtains than in a room without curtains because curtains absorb most of the sound falling on them as curtains are bad sound reflector, and hence do not produce echoes. On the other hand, in rooms without curtains, there is a greater reflection of sound from the walls, As a result some echoes are produced.
These echoes cause a hindrance to hearing.
