About this sound
“My ears hate this noise”
Here's three long scrapes dragged across metal, spread over about 15 seconds with quiet gaps in between. They're rough and gritty, and each drag speeds up and slows down as it goes. Works for old machinery or a hatch getting dragged open.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.19 s of quiet before the sound starts. Trim that off if it has to land right on a cut, a hit or a button press.
- It's done by 12.9 s. The last 1.84 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
