I am reading this set of poems for my humanities class. One of the lines is enter image description hereSupposedly:

但聞人語響

Supposedly, the last character is xiang with a third tone and it means to sound"sound" or echo"echo".

But I thought this phrase meant wantcharacter means "want", as in 想.

Can someone clarify what xiang (third tone) means?
