low frequency
Not very common
Low frequency describes sounds, waves, or signals at the lower end of a range—bass notes in music, the rumble of thunder, radio waves that travel long distances.
In electronics, low-frequency signals fall below a threshold that varies by application.
Figuratively, low frequency can mean infrequent or rare: low-frequency words that most readers won't recognize.
