Answer:

Sensory language

Step-by-step explanation:

The author is using sensory language (words that appeal to the senses, in this case, our ears) to describe the scene.

"The clangor of machinery and hammer", "unfamiliar noises", and "men shouting and women singing" are all phrases that appeal to the hearing sense.
