splats

Messy landing sounds

Splats is the plural of splat—the sound or impact of something soft hitting a surface: The tomatoes hit the wall with wet splats.

A splat is also the flat central piece of a chair back.

In computing, splat is slang for the asterisk character (*), so splats may refer to multiple asterisks in code or text.
