There was no sound at all except for a faint rush of water in pipes and a distant electronic pulse from a machine in another room.

All turned toward the horizon on their port where the distant pulse of a hydrogen ram could be heard.

His aching body was only a distant pulse.

The room blinked to the distant red pulse of the minaret's air-hazard lights.

The beat of the propellers came as a distant pulse but soon increased to the sound of a farm threshing machine.

A distant pulse came from the walled cities.

The distant pulse of drumming came louder.

Up here, the music was just a throbbing under the feet, a distant pulse.

The agony became a distant throbbing pulse.

She felt a distant pulse of anger, as if experiencing the emotions rightfully belonging to another.
