Best I can do is "thump"
Never mind, not an adjective...
Maybe flitteringly
morose
That would be an adverb, if it's even a real word.
icky
banal
bland
esoteric
onomatopoeic
sonorous
Good ones
Ballistic
Weird.
moist
A word that sounds like what it depicts is an onomatopoeia.
resonant
linguistic
wordy
vocal
textual
literary
short
Short is the one.
Soft
meta-acoustic
bretty good
Onomatopoeias are named BECAUSE of the sound.
hissy
snappish
blah
Superfluous
G ahahaha 20/10
effervescent
insurmountable
All wrong. The word first has to be an descriptor for sound, with onomatopoic qualities on top of that
These are closer but don't quite hit the mark. Effervescent and sonorous are pretty good
Lush/ it's so soft and full sound, no hard vocals
Dazzling/ idk why desu
Melodic
Dull
Raspy
Muffled
cacophony and aesthetic
Clucky
Floppy, sloppy, slippery. Must be many more, I reckon.
Just thought of three more: slick, raspy, crunchy.
Euphonious
Sussurrous
I'm no prescriptivist, but I don't think you can just slap an 'o' into 'susurrus' and have it be an adjective.
LOUD
Squishy
>i'm not racist, but
loooooooooooong
Bubbly.
Crisp
Niggers
Oh wait, you said sound.
Tinny and woody
I think it was Saussure who suggested that all words come from an archaic version of their own sound.
What about words for things that don't make a sound?
Everything makes a sound if you smash it hard enough. :3
Like the letters "gl" seem to intrinsically mean something shiny, hence all the words that start with gl and mean shiny: glitter, gleam, glamorous, glisten, glow?
It was thumpy.
Or there was a thumpiness about it.
it was onomatopoeiaish....
>Intrinsically mean
no. Don't encourage people to waste more lives and years of research on that shit.
murmury
soughing
rooning
sizzling
screechy

Probably the hard vowel sound followed by the z, which is a bold-sounding consonant
