tinnier

Less rich acoustically

Tinnier is the comparative form of tinny.

A sound that is tinnier has more of the thin, metallic quality associated with cheap speakers or small containers: The audio got tinnier as the battery died.

Something tinnier may also taste more strongly of metal: The canned version was tinnier than fresh.
