all.

I have never been in an anechoic chamber. I have fired guns and cherry
bombs out on the lake where there is nothing to echo from. Unfamiliar
flat sound. Not much echo from grass either.

Are you nut

Not from calm water back toward the boat. No corners no return. In any
case, you can clearly hear the difference. I used to officiate
sailboat races and had a 12 gauge starter gun.

Sorry, but you are just plain wrong, dude. I used to paddle out onto a
lake to play my saxophone, and record it there on a Nagra reel-to-reel
- specifically for the unique reverberations found on a still lake.
You should have worn ear protection when firing that starter pistol.
It damaged your hearing.

Reverb from what?
