Nonmetals are not sonorous because they do not produce sounds, even if it hits a hard surface, unlike metals like iron .
Hence, metals are sonorous because they are making ringing sounds when hit into a hard surface.

∙ 13y agothey do not allow energy to dissasipate because they are elastic substances

∙ 13y agometal is a good conductor of sound because it is solid & hence it has atoms very near & thus causes more vibration required for conducting sound.
