The acoustics of our footsteps come back to us quicker and it just sounds different, so we know its bouncing off of something

Your body tends to know where it is located in relation to other things. It’s called proprioception.

Go to a quiet place and put your hands near your ears, you can hear the sound change. You can hear things like this without realizing it.
