A Sub-Trope of Noisy Shut-Up. screeEEEEeeeeEEEEEeeEEEEEEEK! Gah! That sound! But it got your attention, didn't it? Seriously, there's no better way to arrest attention than to screeEEEEeeeeEEEEEeeEEEEEEEK! [shudder chill] ...no better way to arrest attention than to rake a nail or two across a blackboard. Usually works best with actual nails or a piece of chalk (especially a long, fresh piece), but some Badass Normals can use their finger nails. In the absence of a chalkboard, a sharp object against glass produces a similar sound. screeEEEEeeeeEEEEEeeEEEEEEEK! Will you STOP that!!! Fun fact: certain schools of thought posit that the reaction to this sound is an atavistic response to when humanity's pre-evolved ancestors used a similar noise to warn each other of danger that should be fled from at once. This phenomenon was studied in 2006 on a scientific paper, which netted its authors the Ig Nobel Prize, and as shown in the Real Life section, it has found actual practical applications in impossible-to-ignore metallic noises that alert machine operators about dangerous conditions, such as worn brake pads on a car. See also Sinister Scraping Sound, a dangerous Sister Trope. Believe it or not, The Other Wiki actually has its own article about it. |

Slingblade: Here, the trope doesn't need nails or blackboards. The film's opening introduces an inmate of a mental institution who is an attention-hungry sociopath. This is established before he even speaks by his dragging a metal chair across the entire length of the tile-floored common room. | |

Elle comes up with a noise-cancelling device that could counter the alien's ability, demonstrating by scratching her nails on a chalkboard without causing any cringing to the other agents. | |

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie: Somewhat subverted, as viewers of the film would have been unable to hear it as such. When Ivan Ooze expresses his displeasure at the Tengu Warriors' failure to eliminate the Power Rangers, they counter that they were driven off by a monster, who twirled sticks that made a very painful sound. At this, Ivan asks what the sound was (to confirm his suspicion that the "monster" was in fact the warrior woman Dulcea), and the Tengu replied that it was "like nails on a chalkboard". | |

Garfield: One strip◊ had Garfield threaten to do this near Jon so he would give him the last cup of coffee in the house. The logo box of another strip◊ shows Garfield and Odie standing in front of a blackboard with Garfield's name carved in it. Odie looks extremely unnerved, and one of Garfield's claws is sticking out. Yet another strip has Jon refuse to let Garfield into the house... until Garfield drags his claws down the window. |

Blue Eye Samurai. In the pilot episode, the title character starts her Batman Cold Open by shoving the table away from herself with a loud scrape to give her room to stand up, putting the attention of everyone else in the soba restaurant on her when they'd previously been watching the gun-waving flesh merchant who was threatening to shoot Ringo. | |

In one episode of Arthur, the title character daydreams that a villainous teacher is using the noise for torture rather than for straight attention-getting. In a much later episode Arthur's much-dreaded piano teacher substitutes for them ahead of a trip to Crown City and, true to his strict ways assigns the entire singing class homework. The whole lot of them start moaning over this, and they are quickly silenced when he scratches his bare nails clean across the board; they don't interrupt him again after that. |

In the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! episode "Bye Bye Birdies," Wubbzy and his three friends must get the La-Dee-Da Birds to move before a snowstorm hits Wuzzleburg. Walden's idea was to make "the worst lullaby ever" with three 'annoying' instruments (and Wubbzy howling like a Wuzzlewolf). Daizy got to play on a blackboard...she wonders how she makes music, before the bear tells her that she's meant to rub her fingers across it. Well, she does trying to even make the lullaby, but then the birds sing and Daizy, alongside Walden and Widget, are put to sleep. | |

In One Piece, Usopp can use an attack called "Usopp Noise", which involves him scratching his nails on a small blackboard to distract his enemies so he can either make a hasty retreat or launch a surprise attack.

A sketch in Right Now Kapow also parodies the Jaws scene, exaggerating the trope so that everyone scratches a conveniently nearby chalkboard to say anything, eventually doing it just because it's fun to do. After getting nowhere the Mayor moves to the next subject of discussion, replacing all the chalkboards with whiteboards, which is unanimously denied. | |

Done in The Fairly OddParents! by Timmy as a prank. Since he is invisible at the time, everyone in the classroom thinks the chalkboard is haunted. | |

The Pink Panther Strikes Again: Used as Cool and Unusual Punishment. The villain puts on a steel gauntlet from a suit of armor, grins at the tied-up female, walks to the slate blackboard, and — CUT! to quite a distance away, outside, and you STILL hear it. And her screaming. | |

Game of Thrones. In "The Sons of the Harpy", Lancel Lannister has the sign of the Faith Militant carved into his forehead upon joining their order, and the audience gets close-up shots of his nails painfully clutching the wooden table he's lying on (with sound effects, of course) just for added squick. In "Walk of Punishment", Tyrion Lannister deliberately scraps his chair while moving it into position at the Small Council table, just to troll his father Lord Tywin. |

Final Destination 4: Inverted. The salon scene contains some slightly unnerving shots of the pedicurist scraping a metal tool along the underside of a soon-to-be victim's toenail. The sound of the scraping is plainly heard, and unpleasant. | |

In Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Joys of Seasons episode 36, Mr. Slowy gets angry about Weslie, Paddi, and Sparky seemingly skipping school on top of not sending in their homework (they were actually captured by Wolffy while trying to retrieve their homework from him). In his anger, he scratches on his desk and then on the chalkboard behind him, which irritates his other students Tibbie and Jonie. | |

One South Park episode has Mr Garrison using a rusty nail to write on the chalkboard, because lawsuits have made chalk too expensive for the school. In another one, a couple of FBI agents do this to a balloon to force the boys to tell them where Starvin' Marvin is. Cartman gives in pretty soon. |

2 Stupid Dogs had this when Mr. H wrote his name on a chalkboard when he was substituting a class. It was excruciatingly long, and was enough to blow out the school's windows out. Just when the students think it's over, he adds a final scrEE! for the period. | |
