| acoustic shadow |
Several times during the war, observers watching a battle only a few miles away reported hearing no battle sounds, while people 10 or 20 miles away clearly heard the booming of artillery. This phenomenon, referred to as an acoustic shadow, was attributed to abnormal atmospheric conditions that prevented normal transmission of sound, resulting in a pocket of silence.
