boomy
Too much bass
Boomy describes sound that has excessive or resonant bass frequencies, often in a way that muddies the audio.
A boomy room produces unwanted low-end reverberation.
Boomy speakers emphasize bass at the expense of clarity: The subwoofer sounds boomy in this small space.
The term is common in audio engineering and music production, usually as a criticism rather than praise.
