echoing
Returning as sound
Echoing describes sounds that repeat or reverberate, bouncing back from surfaces: Her footsteps went echoing through the empty hall.
It extends to things that repeat or imitate something else: His words, echoing his father's advice, stayed with me.
An echoing space is one where sounds reverberate: the echoing chamber of the cathedral.
