Largely amateur choirs have a hard time escaping a certain hardness of sound, and this one couldn't either.
The PCA showed a positive correlation between the sensory parameters hardness and sound intensity of crunchiness and the instrumental parameters force area, mean force, maximum force, and negative correlations between the number of sound peaks, mean sound peak, number of force peaks and crunchiness.
Nothing to it no knocking until my attention was drawn away from reverie (Mary) and I detected within the sound a hardness, a pressing nature, and became aware, over the course of what seemed to be an hour, that the sound remained just above my head, with a steadiness that went beyond the nature of the task.

You are not hard for hardness's sake.
The new tested laser cladding design is capable of producing a sound coating with tunable hardness (from 360 430 HBN).
We also calculate the real contact area between the indenter and the surface, allowing a sound estimation of the scratch hardness.
But adversity has stamped a hardness on Mr Blunkett, whereas Mr Letwin can often sound like one of the "woolly liberals" Labour home secretaries have taken to denouncing.
And though there is a diamond hardness to his tone, he seems incapable of producing a harsh sound.
