About this sound

Nobody has opened that door in years.

Here's a creepy old door creaking, two slow drags of the hinge in just under 5 seconds. It's squeaky and scratchy up high, and it's loud. Works for a haunted house or somebody sneaking into a room.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 1.98 s after it starts (2 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's −9.8 LUFS, about 8 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
