When am I lugging?

Hi guys.

I've only been driving stick for 3 months, and I want to learn more. I've heard many things about lugging your engine, and how it can lead to Transmission stress and Engine pings/knocks.

However, I really don't know when I am lugging my car. Is there a sound I should hear when I'm lugging my engine?

Here are some scenarios I think I lugged my engine:
-48mph in 6th gear at 1.8k rpm
-12mph in 3rd gear at 1krpm
-16mph in 3rd gear (forgot the rpm)
-30-35 mph in 5th gear (forgot the rpm)

Are any of these lugging the engine? Is it better to over rev?

Thank you!
