bloop

Soft watery noise

Bloop is a soft, hollow sound—the noise of a bubble surfacing or something dropping into water: The stone made a satisfying bloop as it hit the pond.

In baseball, a bloop is a weakly hit fly ball that drops just beyond the infielders for a hit: He blooped a single into shallow right field.
