'''Feedback''' is a distortion of mic inputs which sounds like the howling of a dog. It occurs when amplified sound from loudspeakers is picked up by the microphone, which then feeds the signal back into the circuit.

'''Audio feedback''' is a form of positive (but undesired) [[feedback]]. It describes the annoying noise that can be heard when the output of the loudspeakers is looped back into the [[microphone]], creating an amplification effect.
    
The immediate solution is to reduce the volume to the speakers. That will end the unpleasant howling. A better solution is to lower the input level of the microphone which is producing the feedback.

A narrow band filter applied at the feedback frequency is the best solution of all, although it is difficult for amateurs to do this unless they have proper equipment and training.
