Translation: With a horrible ripping noise..

Question

Today, in the' palabra del día 'I tried to write: He pulled off her coat with a horrible, ripping noise.. I could only find: el ruido de tela que rasga.. ( the noise of fabric ripping).

Is there no other way of saying a ' ripping noise' ? Or any similar expression? I have no time to look into this myself tonight, a man has come to do some welding. In the dark. Spanish working hours are a mystery, I must go out and hold a torch for him.

Gracias de antemano.

I would have tried "sonido horrible de rasgar" but I have no idea if it is correct. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 16, 2015

Answer 1

I would say: .... "un sonido horrible de rasgadura" or "un sonido de rasgadura horrible" depending on which word you want to emphasize with "horrible".

Gracias Julián. - annierats, Nov 18, 2015

Answer 2

What about. Se quitó la chaqueta con un terrible sonido de desgarro? Or con un sonoro ruido a desgarro? If there was ripping you could say con un sonoro desgarro.(I know that it isn't exactly the same thing but it's another option).

Gracias Astotxua, I was writing about a coat being ripped off. It probably ripped as well as making a ripping noise, thanks for this excellent suggestion. - annierats, Nov 18, 2015

También,"...con un sonido de que algo se rasgaba/rajaba"
