How to Say "Echoed" in Spanish

resonó

/resono/from spelling rules

The English word "echoed" can be translated into Spanish as resonó.

The phrase is used to describe a sound that is reflected off a surface and heard again.

Which one should you use?

Repercutió is a formal way to say "echoed" in Spanish.

For describing an ongoing or habitual echoing in the past, use the imperfect indicative form resonaba (was echoing).

/resono/

Unlike English, where 'echo' is often used as a noun to describe the sound itself, in many Spanish poetic contexts, eco is personified as a nymph from Greek mythology who can only repeat what others say.
If you are describing a sound that is deep, heavy, or booming, such as thunder or a drum, you should use retumbó instead of resonó. The verb retumbar suggests a much more powerful and percussive vibration than a simple echo.
The formal verb repercutir can mean 'echoed' in a physical sense, but it is most frequently used to discuss the 'repercussions' of an event. It describes how one action has a lasting effect or consequence on a situation.
