fabric tearing

Textile being rent

Fabric tearing is the sound or action of cloth being ripped apart—that distinctive ripping noise when fibers separate under force.

The phrase appears in audio descriptions, sound effect libraries, and textile testing contexts: The fabric tearing was louder than she expected.

It can describe both the process and the resulting sound.
