Rag SFX
The sound of a "Dry Rub" fills the air, the fabric of a rag being rubbed together creating a friction that almost sounds like a gentle grind. The rough texture of the fabric adds a unique quality to the sound, as the dryness of the material emphasizes the friction between the two pieces. There is a certain nostalgic and comforting quality to the sound of a dry rub, a reminder of simpler times when household chores were done by hand with the help of a trusty rag.

Thuds on window pierce through the silence, the sharp sound of a rag hitting a hard surface echoing loudly. The impact creates a series of bumps and smacks as the rag makes contact with the window. Each thud is a reminder of the force behind the hit, the violent collision of two objects sending vibrations through the air. The sound is almost abrasive in its intensity, a stark contrast to the gentle rustling of fabric. You can play and download this sound here.

The delicate plucking of the strings produces a serene tone, reminiscent of the peaceful tranquility of Indian classical music. The Surmandal's rich, resonant sound adds depth to the composition, while the Tanpura's steady drone provides a hypnotic backdrop. Together, they create a raga that is both captivating and enchanting, transporting listeners to a world of beauty and grace. You can play and download this sound here.

Each wet slap is accompanied by a cascade of squishing noises, a reminder of the moisture and intensity of the hit. The sound is both satisfying and jarring, a reminder of the raw power behind each punch. You can play and download this sound here.
