Bonus points if there’s a known onomatopoeia to describe the sound.

    As for the numbness, if a foot goes numb, then we normally say that we “have sand in the foot” or that “the foot is asleep”

      Ah, nice. Sand idiom does not ring a bell, but the “asleep” is quite common probably. In Turkish, the word for numb (uyuşmak) is actually derived from the word for sleeping (uyumak), so just wanted to share that, too.
