I having problems with two sound effects. The first is the sound a siren makes. I have someone saying it, and I can't figure out how to write it. Ideas?
Second problem relates to this section of my WIP:
Someone should invent a thesaurus for sounds.

Second problem relates to this section of my WIP:
I can live with the "thud" although I think there's something better out there. The "scratch' however, isn't working for me at all. She's basically dragging her feet across a wooden surface. How do I describe that sound?Using my crutches, I pull myself to my feet. God, that hurts. Slowly, I thrust the left crutch forward. Thud! Then I thrust the right one forward. Thud! I drag my feet across the floor. Scratch! Pain!
Thud! Thud! Scratch! Major pain!
Thud! Thud! Scratch! G******* m****** f****** pain!
I continue across the stage.
