the original notification sound, delivered palm-first and impossible to mute
means To strike something sharply with an open hand or flat surface, or the sharp sound such a blow makes.
from An echo word — 'slap' is what linguists call imitative, born to mimic the very noise it names, the flat crack of palm on cheek. It surfaced in English by the 17th century and has cousins across the Germanic languages, like German 'Schlappe,' all of them sounding out the same percussive smack.
