bloops
Barely-there base hits
Bloops are short, soft, typically electronic sounds—round and bubbly in character.
Video games and apps use bloops for notifications, errors, or playful feedback.
The word is onomatopoeic, imitating the sound itself: The machine made a series of cheerful bloops.
In baseball, a bloop is a weakly hit fly ball that drops between infielders and outfielders for an unexpected hit.
