Does anyone know of a list to descriptive words for sounds? ex: if i boosted the high frequencies too loud i would describe it as "tinny"or "like a cellphone" but i'm sure there is a professional word for it already!

Good and poop.
That's all that counts.
There's no cheat sheet for experience or crib notes for knowledge. If there was, we would all be pros.Does anyone know of a list to descriptive words for sounds? ex: if i boosted the high frequencies too loud i would describe it as "tinny"or "like a cellphone" but i'm sure there is a professional word for it already!

Check out Interactive Frequency Chart - Independent Recording Network
In addition to showing where various instruments sit in the audio spectrum and defining bass, mids, etc., it shows where terms such as "tinny" and "mud" sit.

I don't know of any exact definitions. It's usually just people trying to relate what they've heard. As you get more experience and knowledge you will understand better what they are talking about and trying to describe - that may or may not be accurate.

If you work out exactly what "warm" and "punchy" mean, do share...
Anytime I think of "punchy" it's never really a good term in my mind, though I know others use it as one. I always imagine like a super-compressed kick drum or something lol
Right on!
And warm to me means that it's full sounding with a full balance across the EQ band with no peaks ... Especially from the high end.
I like the term ... In the pocket.
