a short quiet sound
The tuning of one's own drum set is completely by personal preference. I could tell you a specific pitch to tune it to, but that is only ONE way to tune a floor tom. I personally tune my snare to a B flat, my highest tom to an F, my second tom to a D, and my floor tom to a B flat an octave below my snare. However, I suggest you play around with your floor tom and a drum key and see what sound you like best. Avoid it being so low that it sounds "flubby" or "tubby"...and, on the flip side, you don't want it to sound too high and blend in with your other toms. The purpose of a floor tom is to support the bass drum.
The choice is yours to make. Do you want a lower pitched floor tom or a slightly-higher pitched one? The taller the drum (up and down) the more projection it has...it also slightly alters the pitch. The wider the drum the lower in pitch it is. A taller tom you will have to hit harder to vibrate the other head so it will ring and the longer its note will be.
The two up top are called the high and low toms. The one on the floor is not called the bass drum, but it is called the floor tom.
The High and Medium Toms. Also the big drum that sits on the floor that is not the Bass Drum is the Low Tom or Floor Tom.
Floor tom. It is the drum that has legs on it and sits on the floor. (Not the bass drum)

poor tom
The best technique for tuning a high floor tom to achieve optimal sound quality is to tune each drumhead evenly and gradually, using a drum key to adjust the tension of the lugs in small increments. Experiment with different tensions until you find the pitch that produces a clear and resonant sound.
The Tom makes a gobbling sound. Gobble Gobble, only very fast.

sometimes the drums do not make a sound, because they are on the floor, so the sound cannot leave the drum. make sure it is above the ground and then play it, it should make sounds then. there are some drums which don't need to be off the ground to make the sound, but make a better sound if are off.
Footsteps on a tile floor sound louder than on a carpet floor because hard surfaces do not absorb sound as well as soft surfaces. The sound waves produced by footsteps on tile bounce off the hard surface and create a more resonant and louder noise compared to the sound waves that are absorbed by a carpet.
when you stamp on the floor it makes the noise as your foot comes into contact with the floor the floor vibrates making the noise. If the floor is hollow beneath i.e. a wooded suspended floor then the sound is magnified in the same manner as a drum
To properly tune a floor tom drum, start by tightening the tension rods evenly around the drum. Use a drum key to adjust the tension until the drum produces a clear and resonant sound. Make sure the tension is consistent across all rods to maintain a balanced tone. Experiment with different tensions to find the desired pitch and tone for the drum.

The floor tom can be made out of many types of wood, most commonly maple, birch, and African Mahogany.
there is only one syllable. sound it out, floor, you only let it out in one sound or time.
