boominess
Low-frequency muddiness
Boominess is excessive low-frequency resonance in sound reproduction, giving audio a muddy, rumbling quality.
Audiophiles and sound engineers use the term critically: The room's boominess ruined the mix.
A boomy speaker or room emphasizes bass frequencies unnaturally, obscuring clarity and detail in music or speech.
