mehs

Sounds of apathy

Mehs is the plural of meh, an expression of indifference or unenthusiastic response.

Where one meh signals apathy, multiple mehs suggest a pattern of disengagement: The proposal got nothing but mehs from the committee.

Can also describe lukewarm reactions generally: mixed reviews and mehs.
