Sounds: how to describe them?
How do I describe the sound of a low growl in a low technological culture context?
All that comes to mind as possible descriptions are the sounds of rolling logs, or the wheels of a wagon.
Note: this culture also does not know what the sounds of thunder or rain are, or even running water.
But back to the growl sound.
Would it be comprehensible to the reader if I describe this as something similar to the sound of logs rolling on a floor?
And yes... I am looking for your opinions too, since they do matter in this instance, so... put yourselves in the shoes of my readers, please?

To me, a growl sounds like a very loud and sustained clearing of the throat, or a combination of that and a shout caused by injury, as people (particularly men) may do when they hurt themselves. Surely the residents of your garage have done something to hurt themselves in the past: breaking a finger in a fall, for example.
