it's interesting that this use of 声 appears to be associated exclusively with subjects involving financial markets and/or money: 涨声 is another example.  I wonder whether it stems from the idea of people screaming that prices are falling/rising at actual physical markets.

how about＂announcement（s）＂ （of price reductions， markdowns） iciba：此起彼伏： As one falls, another rises.; flux and reflux; rise one after another; ... rising here and subsiding there; up here, down there
降价 cut price ； reduce price ； depreciate

"声(Sound)" is metaphorical in this sentence, "车市降价(Automobile market price drop)" cannot actually produce a sound, so it implies that there are potential of market price drop, **because** we are hearing "此起彼伏(Wave after wave)" of the "sound" that automobile market price is going to drop.

Also to mention, "此起彼伏(Wave after wave)" usually describes something that produce waves/has up and downs, so "声" is required or it doesn't make sense.

Do you know what this sentence as a whole is talking about? 近2/3的进口车也大幅降价-- nearly 2/3 of imported cars are getting price drops
;而2004年、2005年和2006年---this is fairly obvious, just those 3 years.

So 声，usually associated with voices and sound, would reasonably be "the CALL(声） for price drop for car market", or "the rumor/voice of price drop ...".
