Rumble sound effects for the low stuff you feel in your chest. Thunder rolling in from far off and distant explosions shaking the ground. Tanks grinding past. Designed sub rumbles for trailers and horror, and storms heard from inside a house as the windows buzz. If the speakers can take it, so can you.

A rumble is mostly low end, which means it needs decent speakers to judge and a little restraint in the mix. Natural rumbles like thunder carry detail on top, the crackle and grit that tells you what's moving. Designed ones are cleaner, a pure Sub drop or a swelling bed that sits under a Riser. Trailers use them to make a cut feel huge. Horror uses them to make a quiet room feel wrong.
