English term or phrase: "sympathetic note"
"In large churches with a marked reverberation there is frequently what is termed a 'sympathetic note' - that is to say 'a region of pitch in which tone is apparently reinforced'. If the reciting note of the priest was close to the 'sympathetic note' of the church - and Hope Bagenal tells us that probably both of them were, then as now, somewhat near A or A flat - the sonorous Latin vowels would be carried full-toned to the entire congregation. A Latin prayer or one of the psalms from the Old Testament could be intoned in a slow and solemn rhythm, carefully adjusted to the time of reverberation".

Moge jeszcze dodać, że szukając w internecie wyjasnienia, trafiłam na "An Acoustic Questionnaire for Organists", ułożony najwyraźniej przez Bagenala, w którym pytanie 2 brzmi:
"What is the sympathetic note of your church? Do your choir find it easier to sing in a key related to that pitch? Are other notes (such as the major third above the sympathetic note) also reinforced unequally by the church, or are there any marked acoustic phenomena?"

Ta "wzmocniona", śpiewana przez nas nuta najprawdopodobniej odpowiada częstotliwości jednej z fal stojących naszej łazienki (fakt, że jest to łazienka jest dość istotny, gdyż jest ona przeważnie wyłożona płytkami ceramicznymi, a więc ma ściany dobrze odbijające dźwięk).

  -> Thank you, Michał. I like "wzmocniona" nuta or ton because it "sounds" less rigid.
