Good article

This is a good example of what Misplaced Pages is for. The author has taken something ordinary and well-known, found verifiable facts to report about it, and presented them in a very digestable form. Kudos. Now all references to "fingernails scraping chalkboard" in other articles have something to link to! - House of Scandal (talk) 19:51, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Seconded. First encyclopedia in history to have an article on this very notable sound. · AndonicO 01:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Two things it needs

  • An .ogg file of the sound.
  • You could probably mention that famous scene in Jaws where Robert Shaw silences an entire noisy room by scraping his fingernails across a blackboard, as a fictional example illustrating the effect it has on people (There will not, howver, be a "Sound of fingernails scraping chalkboard in popular culture" section).
