thunderous
This adjective describes sounds that possess a heavy, vibrating quality, moving beyond simple loudness to imply a sense of overwhelming power or scale. When applied to physical noise, it suggests a deep resonance that can be felt as well as heard, often evoking a sense of awe or intimidation.
In social or emotional contexts, the word shifts from literal sound to figurative intensity. It is frequently paired with "applause" to indicate an enthusiastic, collective reaction, or used to describe a facial expression or silence that conveys a heavy, oppressive atmosphere of anger or disapproval.
