oom
Deep horn sound
Oom is a low, resonant sound suggesting power or impact—the bass note of an explosion, the throb of a subwoofer, the rumble of heavy machinery.
It often appears reduplicated as oom-pah or oom-pah-pah to evoke the rhythmic pulse of brass band music, where tubas provide the deep beats beneath brighter melodies.
