foghorn
Harbor's loud call
A foghorn is a loud, low-pitched horn used on ships and at coastal stations to warn of obstacles in fog.
The deep, penetrating sound carries well through dense air.
Figuratively, someone with a foghorn voice speaks in booming, unmistakable tones: Her foghorn of a mother could be heard three rooms away.
