glass breaking
Window giving way
Glass breaking is the act or sound of glass shattering.
The phrase often appears in contexts of burglary or vandalism: We heard glass breaking and called the police.
In vocal training and audio engineering, glass breaking describes the phenomenon of sound waves at the right frequency causing glass to shatter—a singer hitting a note that cracks a wine glass.
