whumping
Dull rhythmic impacts
Whumping is the present participle of whump, a verb that captures a heavy, dull thudding sound or impact.
Something whumps when it lands or strikes with a muffled boom—a helicopter's rotors whumping overhead, a bag of sand whumping onto the ground.
The word is onomatopoeic, evoking the sound itself.
