ring through

Sound carries everywhere

Ring through describes a sound that travels and resonates fully, reaching its destination with clarity: Her voice rang through the empty hall.

A phone call rings through when it successfully connects after attempting to reach someone: I tried three times before it finally rang through.

The phrase suggests penetration or completion—sound or signal making it all the way to the other end.
