reverberating

Bouncing back repeatedly

Reverberating describes sound that echoes, resounds, or continues in a series of reflections: His voice went reverberating through the empty hall.

The word extends to anything that produces lasting effects or spreads outward: The scandal sent reverberating shockwaves through the industry.

A reverberating space amplifies and prolongs sound; a reverberating decision amplifies and prolongs consequences.
