Whispering
\Whis"per*ing\,
a. & n. from
Whisper. v. t.
[1913 Webster]
Whispering gallery, or
Whispering dome, one of such a
form that sounds produced in certain parts of it are
concentrated by reflection from the walls to another part,
so that whispers or feeble sounds are audible at a much
greater distance than under ordinary circumstances. The
dome of the U. S. capitol building is one example.
