Duration

The caster hums a melody, that travels through the area, returning the caster echoes of the environment. Melody can be heard by anyone whom the spell reaches. The spell affects a spherical area with 45 feet radius, originating from the caster. Sound travels through any materials, nooks, and crannies that sound could usually pass, and soundproof or sound diminishing materials can reduce the area of effect at DMs discretion.

Caster receives a mental map from the area of effect, getting vague ideas about the basic layout of the space regardless can they see it (like the shape of the room, or positioning of furniture) and some information on creatures inside the area. The spell doesn't reveal any details like small objects or appearance of the creatures, simply an estimation of their size and position. The sound might also clue in on details on like the size of a nearby room, the material of the walls, are their rugs on the floor or positioning on objects though no details on what those objects are. For example, the caster might be able to tell there is a large, heavy object in the next room, but cannot confirm it as a statue before they have seen it.

If there is a creature in the area of effect that is actively trying to hide/stealth, they must make a stealth check against the caster's casting modifier. If it succeeds, the caster only gets an eerie feeling that there is someone in the space but cannot decipher any further information about the creature's position or size.

During the spell's effect, the caster cannot be surprised attacked by a creature whos position they are aware of.
