How it's used
Focuses on the resonance and clarity of a sound rather than just raw volume. It is frequently used to describe a person's voice, a musical performance, or even a name that carries a strong reputation. Unlike just saying 大聲, which implies intensity, this word carries a positive connotation of being crisp and carrying well through space.
Examples
Their voice is very sonorous, they sound very powerful when singing.
Speak louder, it is not clear enough.
