Wob

Wob is a term that can refer to several concepts in music, online culture, and toponyms in fiction. In music production, "wob" is shorthand for wobble, a bass modulation technique widely used in bass-heavy genres such as dubstep, drum and bass, and electro. The effect is produced by modulating a sound’s pitch or filter cutoff with a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) or envelope, creating a moving, pulsating timbre that characterizes the style. Producers control wobble with LFO rate, depth, waveform, and sometimes envelope following to create rhythmic variation.

In online culture, "Wob" often appears as a nickname or handle for musicians, gamers, streamers, or commentators. It can be adopted independently by different creators and does not point to a single, canonical figure.

Beyond music and online naming, "Wob" also appears as a proper name in fictional or fictionalized settings, and occasionally as a short form in product or brand names. Its meaning in these contexts is determined by the surrounding work.
