An ear-shattering bang ( reverberated/echoed/vibrated) in the air and made me jump out of my skin.
Which one is correct? what's the difference between reverberate and echo?

Echo and reverberation are pretty much the same concepts. They are both time-based audio effects resulting from the reflection of sound on hard surfaces. The difference between reverb and echo lies in time. Echo is a long reflection of sound on a far hard surface, while reverb has a way shorter reflection time. Or in this case reverberation time. It reflects from a nearby surface to another around the listener.
Hope this helps 🍀

In your example, you want the word "reverberated."
These words are similar: reverberated/echoed/vibrated
But, "vibrated" is the most different.
For example,
You can say "The silent alarm on my phone is vibrating."
But you wouldn't say "My phone is echoing" or "My phone is reverberating."
Vibrations are usually something that you feel,
echoes and reverberations are usually something that you hear.
Also, an true "echo" sounds like a copy of a copy of a copy.
Something that "reverberates" may not have this quality.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
