English term

we heard this ear-shattering dong

English to Portuguese Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Suddenly, we heard this ear-shattering dong and the floor erupted into sheer pandemonium. Obviously, we had been watching the market before the opening. And this was a particularly hectic trading session. The crowd in the pits flowed from the bottom up and back again in waves. Our mouths dropped open in astonishment. At that moment, both Joe and I decided that this was the place for us. It just looked like a barrel of fun.

Dong, inclusive, fica melhor como "tilintar"... Mas, bom. Parece meio poético. É o som que um sino faz.
