Hm! I think I agree. Though one thing that one might say is {dizlo} 
about a low frequency is its place on the musical scale.

{cmalu} is in the right direction, but I think just {cmalu} as a seltau 
might be understood as a low-volume or short-duration sound. {clani 
tonga} could be a tone that is heard for a long time.

In any case, I agree that {dizlo tonga} should be replaced by something 
better.
