The sound of footsteps shattered the highly charged moment.

A thick inarticulate sound shattered the heavy silence surrounding them.

If only- The sound of the doorbell shattered his meditation.

She looked confused and frightened, as if the slightest sound would shatter her.

But I was afraid the sound of my voice would shatter the spell.

The Voice laughed, the sound like fragments of glass shattering on a stone floor, and shook her head.

The most awful sound yet heard on Earth shattered the air.

The sound shattered the thickness of the air, cracking the sky with its strength.

She had just started on when a sound shattered the almost drowsy content of the countryside.

The sound of Fane's voice shattered his train of thought.
