Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems
English term or phrase: sound/sounding
Choose the proper scaling bar with which to sound the back and walls.

Make a visual inspection of the ground and test by sounding with a scaling bar, at the start of the shift and at intervals throughout the shift.

To sound the rock, tap with the point end of the scaling bar.

Explanation:
Que no es lo mismo que tonteo/tontear... (no pude resistirlo, perdón...)

Suerte.

hacer sonar/sacar el sonido/extraer el sonido


Explanation:
Me da la impresión de que hace referencia al sonido. Aunque seguramente me esté equivocando.

Mis opciones:

To sound: hacer sonar, sacar el sonido, extraer el sonido...

Esto es lo que se me ocurre. ¡Suerte!
