What does BOOMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalmusic
Producing or having an excessive, deep booming quality of sound, especially heavy or muddy bass.
Boomy is used mostly by musicians and sound engineers to describe a mix or a room where the low frequencies are too strong and blur other sounds. A boomy recording sounds bass-heavy and unclear rather than warm, and engineers correct it by cutting certain low frequencies. The word can also describe any hollow or drum-like sound, such as footsteps on a wooden floor. It is judged as a fault rather than a compliment in most sound work.
