sonorousness
Full, ringing quality
Sonorousness is the quality of producing a deep, rich, resonant sound.
A voice with sonorousness fills a room; a bell with sonorousness reverberates long after being struck.
The word often describes impressive vocal qualities: the sonorousness of his baritone, the sonorousness of the organ pipes.
It can extend to language itself—prose with sonorousness has a pleasing fullness when read aloud.
