I was thinking echo, too. But echoes don’t have tails and I needed another guess. Something that is not alive but has a tail and repeats sound. Had to be a mike.

Yeah, the “tales” bit has me confused too…I wish they had at least included an apostrophe so that we could know about plural/possession…..

Thanks you!

A megaphone – the tail needs to be pointing at the source of the original sound.

A mic when it’s plugged in has a long cord for a tail. And it can’t speak unless this is “in place.” A megaphone has no long tail. Just a butt that you speak into. I don’t know about that.

The riddle says nothing about a “long” tail. When speaking about an inanimate object butt and tail are synonyms. I think that megaphone is the best answer yet. Also, strictly speaking, a mic does not repeat anything to other around; it repeats a signal to an amplifier and speakers, which in turn repeats the audio. Since a megaphone has these components built in, it can be said to both hear and repeat.

Hi guys! This is my first viewing of this site, and I love it! Riddles and mystery stories are proven to be the single most effective way of increasing your brain power!
Oh, and I think the answer is “quotation marks”… =)
Look forward to nutting it out with you.

Tape Machine. Tail refers to the tape tails, or ends.

I was thinking a telephone… it hears incoming sound from the other party, repeats what you say to the other party… yeah, you get the idea… the tail (cord) yep.

the only things i can agree with are microphone and megaphone.
echo has no tail, phones can be cordless (and so can i mic i suppose), tape machine and any other recording device wouldnt repeat things instantly after they are said, but whenever they are replayed

maybe it’s some sort of wild ghetto android that has a plug to recieve power from a source and it’s only function in life is to repeat whatever you say
or a microphone..

Logan said,

no it is a mic cause the tail has to be “in place”

I would have to say that it is a radio.. as in a walkie-talkie… the tail being the antena, and it will immediatly repeat whateveryou say to everyone else who has one.

umm, i think its a microphone. not a megaphone. it says it repeats it immediatly. it also repeats to everyone around you. obviously not a megaphone. thats just my opinion though.

It is a microphone, non-living thing, having a long tail (wire) connected to the amplifier. The microphone recieves message spoken by the user and broadcast through the speakers or transmitters.
