Drums Formula

How to prove or disprove findings on echo ranging formula?

Can someone please help me figure out if my answer is correct.

Question:
What is the echo time if I snare a drum in the hall outside the room which is 80 meters long. The average echo time was 10 milliseconds. Use Echo Ranging formula to prove or disprove my findings, remember this echo was heard in air.

My answer:
I wrote formula d= r x t
d= 160m ( because 80x 2) the sound must travel back
t= 10 ms = 0.01 seconds
c = 16000m/s ( answer)

Under ideal conditions, this appears to be wrong. As the speed of sound in air travels 344m/s in dry air (temperature of 20 °C (68 °F)). So either the time or the distance measurements are incorrect.

You must be using electronic equipment to measure such a short time. Perhaps this equipment displays only the time of the first echo, which might have come from some sound-reflecting surface at only 0.01*0.5*344 = 1.7 m distance, such as a nearby wall, or the ceiling or the floor. I’ve done similar experiments outdoors at a distance from a large brick wall, clapping my hands. The results were close to what the formula predicts. If the equipment has an analog amplitude-vs-time display, did you look for an additional echo, possibly a lot fainter, with about a half second delay? Possibly if there’s limiting in such equipment, the nearer echo might have driven the gain too low to see the farther one. Can you hear a half-second echo? Maybe you should repeat the experiment outdoors, using a brick wall with not much other clutter around.

The beauty of Steve Reich’s minimalist compositions can be found not in their repetition but in their evolution. Listening to the Kronos Quartet perform Different Trains, the listener quickly gets over the camp value of the conductor samples to discover an unfolding theme that harks back not only to bustling industrialism but also to the horror of the Nazi concentration-camp trains. Reich is a mas…

Three years after his solo album The Wildest Wish to Fly, pop producer and songwriter Rupert Hine came back under the disguise of the pseudo-group Thinkman. The three musicians who accompanied him in interviews and lip-sync performances were actors, the whole project becoming a concept revolving around media manipulation. The Formula, Thinkman’s first album, sticks close to this idea (the title track begins with the lines “It’s an interview/But it’s a second take”). During the early ’80s, Hine followed an evolution that led him from disturbing art pop to intelligent but more commercial songs. The Formula is pretty much middle-of-the-road but has a harder edge than the singer’s previous LP. Songs like the title track “The Ecstasy of Free Thought” and “The Days of a Champion” are fueled by newly found energy and feature the hook-filled melodies that made Hine an important part of England’s ’80s pop music. More importantly, there are no weaker tracks, no jumping off the bandwagon for a quick one. As far as concept pop albums go, this one is particularly successful. The Fixx’s James West-Oram provided guitar tracks and Stewart Copeland (ex-The Police) plays some real drums whenever the producer felt the machine was not enough — they are both featured on the closer “There Shines Our Promised Land.” This album is more than a marketing curiosity, it can be considered as an essential part of Hine’s discography. ~ François Couture, All Music GuidePerformers: Stewart Copeland – Drums, Percussion; Lisa Dal Bello – Vocals, Vocals (Background); Rupert Hine – Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals
