gravel
When used as a noun, "gravel" is an uncountable noun. This means you do not say "gravels"; instead, if you want to talk about a specific amount, you can say "a pile of gravel" or "some gravel". As a verb, it is most commonly used in the transitive sense (to cover something with stones). The intransitive use (describing the sound of movement) is much rarer and more descriptive.
