Odell had come alive with the reverbermate sounds of bass, pumping out the essence of male strut. The reverbermation became louder as they passed me by. I felt the sidewalk vibrate a bit and suddenly, the caravan eased down the street in their quest for .... dare we name it romance?

Great sentence with a great question! Loud and obnoxious might attract attention, but it takes soft and tender as fuel for romance!
