The word "carry" in this case means to contain, detect, display, show or portray. "A tone that carried no emotion" means that you cannot hear emotion in the tone, and thus the tone portrays no emotion. You can use the word "carry" in this context whenever something reveals or contains another thing. Here are some other examples of "carry" in this context: Ex: Her face carried fear. Ex: The store carries a large variety of wine. Ex: The dog could not carry the scent.
