Whilst perhaps practical in terms of cleaning and maintenance, hard surface finishes cause sound to bounce around (echo) for far too long, extending the time a sound takes to “fade” to nothing.

These increased “fade” times mean that each new sound piles into the mix with the existing slow to fade previous sounds. As a result multiple reflections of the same sound arrive at the ear separately but numerous times, milliseconds seconds apart. The poor ear, does its best to deal with this flood of sound but struggles to meaningfully translate any sound and becomes overwhelmed. This makes sound comprehension difficult and frustrating.

Absorbing these excess reverberations is the solution.
