Friction Sound Effects

SilverPlatter Audio Presents: Friction - An Unusual Creaks Library

If traditional creaks are the worn floorboards and rusty hinges of the sound world, Friction is the secret attic full of bizarre, wonderful oddities you didn’t know you needed - until now.

Built for sound designers who crave the unexpected, Friction is a collection of weird, character-rich creaks that refuse to play by the usual rules. These aren't your everyday groans and squeaks. Every sound in this library has a distinct personality, crafted through experimentation, custom-built props, and a little bit of mad-scientist spirit.

To create Friction, we didn't just ransack old furniture (though we did that too). We grabbed bows, rubber, latex, leather, springs, styrofoam, cardboard, and whatever else looked promising - and then coaxed out textures and tones that feel alive, unpredictable, and deeply cinematic. Some creaks sing. Some stutter. All of them are dripping with character.

Highlights of Friction:

• Custom-Made Props - We built and modified objects specifically to create new sonic possibilities. You won't find these textures anywhere else.

• Bowed Materials - Using a bow across cardboard, metal and other surfaces brought out surreal resonances that add movement, tension, and oddity to any scene.

• Character-Driven Sounds - These creaks have attitude. Perfect for enhancing horror, sci-fi, surreal drama, or anything that needs that little extra "what was that?" moment.

• High-Quality Recording - Captured with precision using top-tier microphones and gear to preserve every gritty, groaning nuance.

Friction is ideal for sound designers, game developers, and filmmakers who want creaks that stand out - sounds that create unease, wonder, or even a sly smile from the audience. Whether you're designing an abandoned spaceship, a sentient robot factory, or a haunted house that thinks for itself, Friction gives you tools to make it feel real - and just a little bit weirder.

At SilverPlatter Audio, we believe the best sounds sometimes come from the strangest places. With Friction, we invite you to embrace the strange - and make your soundscapes a whole lot more interesting.

Because sometimes, the odd creak is the one that tells the best story.
