rung out

Rung out is the past participle of ring out, meaning to sound loudly and clearly: Church bells rung out across the valley.

The phrase suggests sound that carries—resonant, unmuffled, reaching listeners at a distance.

Often used for bells, gunshots, or voices: Cheers rung out when the goal was scored.

Note that rang out is the simple past; rung out requires a helping verb: The bells had rung out.
