whumps
Heavy muffled blows
Whumps is the plural or third-person singular of whump—a dull, heavy thudding sound or impact.
The word is onomatopoeic, evoking the noise itself: The bass whumps through the walls.
Something can whump against a surface or whump down heavily: He whumps the bag onto the counter.
A whump suggests more weight and resonance than a thump.
