A moment later there was a shuffling sound from in the building.

There was a shuffling sound as every single member of the village rose and did likewise.

Then came a shuffling sound, as of feet moving hastily to clear a path.

There was that ruffling, shuffling sound of people getting to their feet.

A shuffling sound came from the other end of the hall.

There was no answer, but the little shuffling sound came again.

There was a shuffling sound along the brick floor of the passage.

A rock falls, echoes with a soft clear shuffling sound.

There was silence from the other side of the door, then a shuffling sound.
