A mashup of several glass breaking sounds obtained from this site. I needed such a sound for a play I was working on in 2014, and no single sound I found really captured the feeling I wanted, so I merged a bunch of them. The sources are as follows:

@Charlyalya I thought that it would be easy to find, but I was involved in several shows in 2014, and browsing through the names isn't bringing up any clear memories of which one used that sound. Sorry!

Exactly the sound people hope for when they search smashing glass.
Thanks a lot

This is a really nice sounding sound, but unfortunately you can't call the end product cc0 if it has Attribution components. :| The derived work is at least Attribution then.
