Echo experiences appear to reveal secondary sounds in places different from primary sounds and their sources. The case of echoes thus grounds a fresh argument for the claim that sounds travel and against the distal event theory. This chapter argues that echoes provide no new support for the claim that sounds travel in the manner of waves. We should resist understanding echo experiences as re-encounters with traveling, spatially bounded particulars. The case of echoes therefore provides no novel argument against the event theory of sounds.
