subbass
Floor-shaking low tones
Subbass refers to the lowest frequencies in audio, typically below 60 Hz—felt as much as heard.
In electronic music production, subbass provides the deep, rumbling foundation beneath the audible bass line: The track's subbass rattles your chest.
In organ terminology, a subbass is a pedal stop that sounds an octave below the written pitch.
