Boominess

Boominess is the phenomenon of amplification of low frequencies in a room, caused by its resonance mode. A Boomy sound can appear in a small room, or in even smaller spaces, such as a car.

In this example, we hear the Boominess effect in a Mercedes Van. The impulse response comes from Fooke van Saane's "Impulse Response".
