In Germany we have the term "Trittschall" and there's a German Wiki
about this toppic available,
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trittschall :). There also is the term
"Trittschall" in German audio engineering, but this is completely
unrelated to this thread, just a description for a pass filter, where
"tritt" is for "impact", not necessarily a "footstep".
