Metal Grinding Sound Effects

Metal Grinding sound effects for when steel meets steel and neither gives way. Long harsh scrapes as wrecked cars drag along, and metal moaning under pressure. Teeth on edge. There are chains rattling over metal too, and a car door attacked with a saw and an axe, which is as satisfying as it sounds.

Grinding works because it's long. A scrape that keeps going, rising and catching, tells the audience something heavy is moving against its will. Slow it down for a ship's hull or a vault door, speed it up for a car chase. The scrapes here come short and long, and they layer well with a Metal Impact at the start of the move. Horror loves the slow ones.
