roll off

Exit by tumbling

Roll off describes a gradual decrease or decline, often in sound or frequency.

Audio that rolls off loses volume or clarity at certain frequencies: The bass rolls off below 40 Hz.

Production or activity can roll off when tapering down: Orders typically roll off toward the end of the quarter.

Something may also physically roll off a surface: The ball rolled off the table.
