Contexto:
— Tranquila — murmuró, de pie detrás de ella. A pesar del ansia que sentía por ella, sus manos acariciaron sus hombros lentamente y bajaron con cuidado por los brazos. Su voz era más grave y marcada que de costumbre y tenía un filo metálico que retumbaba en los oídos de la muchacha — tendré cuidado, no te preocupes y, si a pesar de eso te hago daño, debes decírmelo —estaba seguro de que no ocurriría porque lo que más le importaba, antes que su propio placer, era proporcionárselo a ella.
Muchas Gracias,
Barbara

his voice had a strident metallic quality echoing in the girl´s ears
If we go to a definition of what a metallic voice is, the ¨su voz era más grave¨ is a contradiction. However, it seems logical to me to translate ¨his voice had a strident metallic quality¨ echoing in the gilr´s ears.

: I don’t think this is the occasion for steely tones!//...steely tones are hardly romantic/seductive dulcet tones...let’s just say that I wouldn’t be won over!

Note from asker:
| Well, I thought about "metallic edge", too, but under the circumstances, it seems a little extreme, almost harsh, which isn't at all the way the guy in question feels about the girl. |
