Across the ring a blast of a horn sounded.

Echoes made those blasts sound like the saluting fire of an entire regiment.

She shook her head as the next blast sounded and the building sagged.

A loud blast sounded from the ranges, and she flinched.

The general level of noise was so high that the blast didn't sound particularly loud.

"I said those blasts didn't sound like they were from the quarry."

This time the blast came in the open, and sounded louder than a hundred 105 howitzers going off together.

It was so long ago that the whistle blasts had sounded; would they really have heard her cries?

The blast of the shot sounded quiet, out there in the emptiness.

The only disturbance had been when an echoing blast of some distant explosion sounded far above them.
