And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?

Tafsir "Ibn Kathir" (English)

وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍAnd how many a generation before them have We destroyed!means from the nations that disbelieved in the signs of Allah and rejected His Messengers.هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًاCan you find a single one of them or hear even a whisper of them!Meaning, `have you seen any of them or even heard a whisper from them.'Ibn Abbas, Abu Al-Aliyah, Ikrimah, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ad-Dahhak and Ibn Zayd all said,"This means any sound."Al-Hasan and Qatadah both said that this means,"Do you see with your eye, or hear any sound!"This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Maryam. All praises and thanks are due to Allah
