The sound of the foot landing is as a result of correctly performed fumi-komi.

If you concentrate on "stomping" or "stamping" you have the potential to damage your ankle, knee and hip and probably are not able to follow through after the cut correctly either.

If however you concentrate on correct technique, your foot will produce a "stamping" like sound as the weight transfers as a result of correctly performed fumi-komi.

J. Scmidt has it correct.
