Each degradation aspect traces to specific physical mechanisms in habitat

Evidence

Blurring of an amplitude and frequency pattern is the result of filtering acting on the frequencies by reverberation and atmospheric turbulence. … Attenuation is produced by absorption, multiple scattering, and geometric attenuation. … The signal-to-noise ratio largely depends by the quality of the signal but also on the level of background noise. — Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 663
