What causes the "ripping cloth" melee noise?

i always thought it was when a single hit was in the upper percentiles, for instance within 10% of max hit, for instance. I never notice any randomness, it never happens (barring and creature specific sounds) on a low hit and always happens on a 'hard' one.

This seems unlikely. I just got hit for 47 and 40 from a 92-max-damage mob and they both did the sound.

I was below half of max hp, still around 400 actual hp.


I'm clueless about this.
