The sound is absorbed by the fabrics and dissipates quickly. In our large factory made of stone and brick, for example, that sound will echo. This is a very loud, live space in here. I'll add in a reverb zone, tuning it for my factory, so I get that loud, live echoey sound within these stone walls. To put in a reverb zone, I'll choose Game Object, Audio, and Reverb Zone. A reverb zone doesn't look like anything particular. It's simply a point in space at a minimum and maximum distance. I'll zoom out a little bit here and place it in my scene.
