We would hear the rumble of distant guns.

Rumble describes a low, continuous, deep sound, like distant guns firing. The 'rumble of distant guns' refers to the ongoing thunderous noise they create. Option A 'sound' is the correct synonym as rumble is a type of sound. Options B (smell), C (music), and D (voice) are incorrect - rumble is not a smell, music is too structured, and voice is too specific to human vocal cords.
