Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} introduces a construct chain: kol {קֹול | qōl} ‘sound’ + hamon {הֲמוֹן | hamôn} ‘tumult’ + hagashem {הַגָּשֶׁם | ha-gā-šêm} ‘rain’, building anticipation of plentiful precipitation. English rendering shifts the Hebrew verb order into a subject-verb-object pattern while preserving the causal emphasis and crescendo from sound to storm.
Root and etymology
ג־שׁ־ם
