dead spots
No reception zones
Dead spots are areas where something fails to work properly or respond.
In audio, a dead spot is where sound doesn't project well or a microphone picks up poorly.
In wireless coverage, it's where signals drop: There's a dead spot in the basement where my phone gets no reception.
On a playing surface, dead spots are places where a ball bounces unpredictably.
The singular dead spot is equally common.
