Creak sound effects create mood, ambience, and above all help tell a story. Introducing the definitive and current Wood and Metal Creak SFX library that will bring your project to the next level.

As sound designers, we always need new and better material. We want to feel excited by and connected to the sounds we use. Varied and high selection of source material allows us to do our job and make the final product shine.
We hope these Creak recordings bring that feeling to you and is a useful and fun addition to your arsenal!

In order to bring something new to the table for this category of sound, a unique recording approach was needed. Due to the incredibly subtle (and not so subtle!) audio details embedded in creak sounds, a recording environment was required with particularly effective sound isolation. At the same time, a high level of control over the variety of surface type and performances of the creaks themselves was needed. Our MacGyver recording engineer Phil came up with a solution that produced a setup within which we had isolation, control, and variety... the "Creak Box".

The Creak Box (it's a secret) is able to capture the most detailed essence of most resonant surface types, and has multiple stages of tension with which the performer of the creaks can play with. Happy with the source sounds that were being created - which is always the most important stage from beginning to end - we found that a multi mic rig was needed. To really get the depth and detail of these creaks we found that the best results were achieved by using a spatially tweaked-up microphone setup using the contact mic LOM Geophon, a pair of cardioid Sennheiser Mkh8040s, and a shotgun Rode NTG3.

Full metadata tagging, included metadata description spreadsheet for easy tracking outside of Soundminer, Basehead, etc. USC compliant.
