lowsounding

Lowsounding is an adjective used to describe sounds that are deep, resonant, and possess a low frequency. This quality is often associated with larger objects or spaces that produce sound, as their size contributes to the production of lower pitches. For example, the deep rumble of thunder, the resonant tone of a cello, or the booming voice of a large person are all considered lowsounding. The perceived depth of a lowsounding noise can also be influenced by its volume and the way it vibrates. Sounds that are lowsounding tend to be felt as much as heard, creating a physical sensation in addition to an auditory one. This can be attributed to the longer wavelengths of low-frequency sounds, which can travel further and penetrate more effectively than higher frequencies. In music, lowsounding instruments like double basses or tubas often provide the foundational harmonic structure, while in nature, low sounds can signal power or presence. The term is subjective and can also be used metaphorically to describe something that seems significant or profound.
