wah
Sobbing sound effect
Wah is an exclamation imitating the sound of crying, especially a baby's cry: Wah, wah, wah—quit your whining.
It often mocks someone for complaining.
In music, a wah or wah-wah is a guitar effect that mimics a crying voice, produced by a pedal that rocks back and forth: He stepped on the wah pedal for the solo.
