Explanation

"No hyperresonance" is a term used in medicine to describe the sound made when a doctor taps on a patient's chest or abdomen during a physical examination. Normally, certain areas of the body produce a specific sound due to the presence of air, like in the lungs. Hyperresonance means that these areas are producing a louder, lower-pitched sound than usual, which can indicate a medical problem. So, "no hyperresonance" means that the sounds are normal and there's no sign of any issues in those areas.
