rumblers

Things that rumble

Rumblers are things that rumble—that produce low, rolling sounds.

The word applies to engines, storms, stomachs, or voices that make deep vibrations: The rumblers of thunder grew closer.

In slang, rumblers can mean people who fight or brawl, from the sense of rumble as a street fight: The rumblers squared off in the alley.
