1.
deep bass; heavy bass sound; low-frequency sound
A deep, resonant low-frequency sound that can often be felt physically as vibration. Commonly used when describing audio equipment, music, engines, or natural phenomena like thunder.

Composed of 重 (heavy, deep) + 低音 (low sound, bass). This word emphasizes the physicality and weight of deep bass frequencies — not just low pitch but the kind of resonant, chest-thumping sound you can feel in your body.
Frequently used in product descriptions for audio equipment (headphones, speakers, subwoofers) and in music discussions, especially for genres like hip-hop, EDM, and club music.
