Feedback
Feedback happens when output sound is picked up again by an input and repeats in a loop.
Level relevance: introduced at Nat 4; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Feedback can create a loud ringing or howling sound if a microphone picks up too much from speakers. In effects such as delay, feedback can also describe how much of the delayed sound is fed back for more repeats.
