But perhaps it was only an echo.”’ The word time, alludes to Jonas traveling back in time. When the book reads, “‘From the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps it was only an echo.”’ The community was most likely not rejoicing at the painful memories, and Jonas and Gabriel were too far for the sound waves to travel, yet there is music. Jonas and Gabriel hear music from other houses, perhaps other towns
