crunched
Made loud bites
Crunched is the past tense of crunch—to crush something with a grinding noise, or to make that sound: Gravel crunched under the tires.
To crunch numbers is to process large amounts of data or perform intensive calculations: We crunched the figures overnight.
To be crunched is to be under pressure, especially time pressure: We're crunched for time.
