Glass Screen Protector Breaking & Cracking

Damaged smartphone screen protector being broken and crushed in bare hands (should've used gloves...).

Recorded with Behringer B-1 microphone into Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. into Audacity on Arch Linux at 192 kHz/24 bit.

The recording was not processed or edited in any way to retain maximum flexibility to sound artists who will use this as an element.

This can be useful as a sound effect for freezing or burning or deep-frying or even rain (when slowed down).
Thanks to extremely wide frequency range the recording can be cleanly slowed down up to 25% speed. There's clean frequency content up to 80 kHz in the recording. In a few places the mic gain was too much and a pop is clipped, but could still be useful for sound of braking or snapping something (bone?).

No denoising was applied - perform your own if needed, though the sounds are mostly free of background hum (a bit of PC noise can be heard in the first minute before I turned down the gain).
