Other forms: resounding, resounded, resounds
To resound is to ring loudly through a place. The hall resounded, resounding cheers, resound with music.
It takes with and it needs a space to ring in — a sound resounds off surfaces, which is why a bare hall does it and a carpeted room does not. A resounding success is a thorough one, and the metaphor is of applause filling a room. Note resonate, from the same Latin for sounding again.
