blooping

Emitting soft beeps

Blooping is making a bloop—a short, soft, hollow sound like a drop of liquid hitting water or a weak hit in baseball.

It can describe sounds occurring repeatedly: The faucet kept blooping all night.

In baseball, blooping means hitting a weakly struck ball that drops just beyond the infielders: He blooped a single into shallow center.
