Scratch Sound Effects

Scratch sound effects from claws and needles. Animals scrabbling and scratching, from cats to crabs clicking over rock. Then the record scratch, a needle dragged across vinyl to stop a scene dead, plus the pops and crackle around it. Small, sharp textures. Edits use a scratch as a transition, and comedy uses it to freeze the moment someone says the wrong thing.

A scratch is friction with grit in it, and the speed of the drag sets the mood. The animal recordings give you the natural kind, cats and crabs close enough to hear each claw. The turntable recordings are a set of their own, scratches and pops with a hand on the record, and they turn up in edits far from any record player. In Radio Imaging and video work, a quick scratch is a classic Wipe between segments. Clothing libraries add fabric and zips dragging, useful in close foley. Horror uses slow scratching at a door. Comedy uses the needle.
