Scratching & Grinding sounds
Scratching and grinding range from single dry screeches of nails on glass or metal on metal to continuous beds of stone slabs, ice floes and heavy furniture dragged across floors. Several monster, animal-claw and horror-themed takes sit alongside everyday kitchen scrapes on plates and industrial machinery. All clips last between three and six seconds so they function as distinct hits rather than background.
