    It is a sound-word, informal, and very ordinary in stories and everyday talk. People use the same word in other close ways: you scrunch up a piece of paper (crush it into a ball), you scrunch your eyes or your nose (squeeze the face up), and hair can be scrunched (crushed in the hands while it dries). Those are the same family of 'crush and make a noise / make small'.
