Room echo or reverb affecting audio – Easy ways to fix it
Echo or reverb in your room can reduce the clarity of your speech during audio checks or live sessions. These issues can cause proctor/interviewer to be alerted or poor detection during identity verification.
✅ Common causes of echo/reverb
| Cause | How it affects audio |
|---|---|
| Empty room | No soft materials to absorb sound waves |
| Mic too far away | Picks up more room noise and reflections |
✅ How to fix it
- Use a headset or headphones with built-in mic:
- Reduces ambient sound pickup.
- Move closer to the mic:
- Reduces the mic’s pickup of room noise.
- Choose a smaller, carpeted/furnished room:
- Avoid large, empty rooms for better audio.
