thunderousness
Quality of roaring
Thunderousness is the quality of being extremely loud, deep, and resonant—like thunder.
It describes sounds with overwhelming volume and power: the thunderousness of the applause, the thunderousness of the waterfall.
The word is rare, as *thunderous* usually suffices.
