overformant
Describing a sound or speech signal that possesses excessive or exaggerated resonant frequencies known as formants. In acoustics and phonetics, this term refers to an unnatural vocal quality where spectral peaks are over-emphasized, often occurring in synthetic speech.

Think of the 'formant' as the 'form' or 'shape' of a sound wave. If the shape is 'over' (too much), it becomes 'overformant'—unnatural and too heavy in resonance.
