Rejects specific frequencies

Band-stop describes a filter that blocks frequencies within a specific range while allowing those above and below to pass through.

The opposite of a band-pass filter.

Used in electronics and signal processing to eliminate unwanted interference or noise at particular frequencies: a band-stop filter to remove the 60-hertz hum from the audio signal.
