Earrape is a term used for incredibly loud and distorted audio, often used to 'jump' the viewer with a sudden burst of noise. In tennis, earrape is very common often just because editing styles tend to get very loud. There is less of an emphasis of being shocking, instead more towards the vibe of something like a rock concert.
History
Toadomos was one of the earliest players to make heavy use of earrape [citation needed].
Usage
Earrape is usually done by applying a distortion filter to audio and setting it to its maximum setting (usually a top-left graph in the visualizer). Just moving the audio all the way up is usually not enough, or may not produce the intended distortion
