If you can make a clicking noise with the side of your tongue, you can easily sense the volume of space you’re in, how close to a wall, etc.

- idontwantthis 4y agoI’ve read about this, but I’ve never understood what that means. I can click my tongue but I can never hear any kind of echo. Is it a very particular click?

- InDemoVeritas 4y agoSharp and short, alternating left and right at about 4 Hz, on the side of the tongue back by the molars. Feels like pulling the side of the tongue away from the teeth. It’s a much clickier click than a front of the tongue ‘click’.
- exDM69 4y agoYou will not distinguish an echo, just a change in the "tone" of the sound you make as it reverberates in your surroundings. The echo pulses are there but just milliseconds after the sound you made. It will all blur into a softer or harder reverb depending on your surroundings. To hear an actual separate echo pulse, it would need to be 20-100 milliseconds later than the original sound. That corresponds to a large hall tens of meters in size.
