These soundwaves decay as they spread out and get reflected or refracted. Basically, words dissolve back into the infinite potential of the air that was used to create them. But that's not what we are here for, right? This is the first example of why not to use jargons when not needed. We can't emphasize more on the fact that you must avoid jargons, the prominence is apparent in our brand's name.
