Re: "noise"
嚓嚓 is a specific type of noise. It's a noise similar to the sound "tsa": a ripping or scraping sound (模擬物體摩擦或撕裂的聲音 [1]). The GFC example (走廊上传来∼的脚步声。), used here in the ABC definition, would probably be better described as a scraping sound, as in these sentence pairs found on the Web:
- 她拖着腳走,鞋跟蹭着人行道嚓嚓作響。There was a scraping sound as she dragged the heels of her shoes along the pavement.
- He heard the scrape of footsteps up the stairs. 他听到有人上楼的嚓嚓的脚步声。
- "嚓上楼时嚓嚓的脚步声"英文翻译 the scrape of footsteps up the stairs
... as distinct from other types of footstep noise, such as in 走廊上传来咚咚的脚步声, which would be more of a thumping sound.
In other examples, 嚓嚓 is used to describe the sound of a pen on paper or a dog's paws on a door.
