It is a point at which the exhaust sounds boomy and you can feel that specific pitch resonating through the cabin. It generally happens between 2,500-3,000 rpm with the 370zs, and is almost reminiscent to deep bass as if you had a subwoofer playing a constant low frequency.

Edit: just to add on, some drone will be gained with a louder exhaust as you simply have less baffling and material in the generally smaller and higher flow mufflers on aftermarket exhausts. That said, some people are more sensitive to drone than others so be aware of that when reading any opinions.
