False. Non-metals are generally not sonorous. Sonorous materials are those that produce a ringing or resonant sound when struck. Non-metals, such as wood, plastic, rubber, and most gases, do not possess the ability to produce such sounds when struck. On the other hand, metals are known for their sonorous properties and can produce a characteristic ringing sound.
