sub bass
Lowest audible tones
Sub bass is the lowest range of bass frequencies in music, typically below 60 hertz—felt in the body as much as heard by the ear.
It provides the deep rumble in electronic dance music, hip-hop, and film soundtracks: The sub bass on that track rattles your chest.
Producing and hearing it properly requires specialized speakers or subwoofers.
