I am autistic, so I can do 3 types of knapping for several different punches - a face punch (high-pitched thud), a chest punch (lower-pitched thud), and a groin punch (lowest pitch). A knap is a mouth-induced sound effect to mimic an effect of a staged punch to someone. The person who reacts to the punch would do what is called a "grunt", something roughly equivalent to a loud "huh".

But how’d she make that sound when you threw that last one?? I didn’t see her hit her chest.. did she stomp on the ground?

[@crushergirl]

A very good explanation. Thanks. If possible, could you also talk about banging someone's head on the wall/table multiple times (at least 10). I would be very pleased.
