heavy bass

Low-frequency boom

Heavy bass refers to deep, powerful low-frequency sound in music, typically felt as much as heard.

It's a defining feature of genres like hip-hop, dubstep, and EDM, where the bass physically vibrates through speakers and bodies: The heavy bass made the whole car shake.

Bass-heavy tracks are designed for club sound systems and subwoofers.
