FAQ about metal sounds

What does the metal page include?

It focuses on metal-tagged sounds inside the broader foley cluster so visitors can find metallic impacts, scrapes, clanks, and utility textures with stronger context.

Why not leave metal content on a generic tag page?

Because a category-plus-tag page gives search engines and visitors clearer intent: practical, real-world metallic effects instead of a floating tag with weak topical context.
