twangier
Sharper, more resonant
Twangier is the comparative form of twangy, meaning having more of a sharp, vibrating quality—typically in sound.
A voice or accent can be twangier than another, especially the nasal tones associated with country music or certain American regional dialects: Her accent got twangier the longer she was back home.
A guitar or banjo sound can also be twangier when it has more of that distinctive plucked resonance.
