Squeaks & Screeches

Friction Rubber - Squeaks & Screeches delivers the raw visceral sound of rubber under high-intensity resistance.

These high-pitched textures are perfect for layering terrifying creature vocalisations, monster roars, ice cracking, vehicle wheel spins, skids and more.

What's Included?

A curated collection of Rubber Friction Sound Effects, including:

Sharp squeals, stuttering scrapes, intense shrieks, quick chirps, ear ringing screeches, rubber squashing and handling, high pitch cackles.

All sounds are delivered as ready-to-use WAV files with UCS metadata, so they drop straight into your workflow and are easy to search.

Asset List PDF

  • How it was made

    All sounds are recorded from a Hot Water Bottle and Bathroom Tiles, capturing unique friction textures and intense screeching sounds.

    Recordings that are stereo were captured using the Mid Side microphone technique and have been decoded.

Sounds vs Files

Instead of hundreds of files, this library uses "string-based" audio files, meaning:

  • Multiple sound variations are embedded in each file
  • Faster browsing in tools like Soundly
  • Easier layering and iteration

So you spend less time searching, and more time designing.

  • Ideal for

    ✔️ Film & TV vehicle skid foley

Behind the Scenes

About the Props

On my quest to record all the weird props I find in the garage, this library combines three unlikely to meet objects. A small hot water bottle and two types of bathroom tiles. 

You might spot a hot water bottle inside foley studios as it's a classic prop for creating vehicle tyre screeches. But it also produces fantastic ear piercing sounds for creature vocalisations, ice cracking and more.

Performance

To create dynamic textures I experimented with stutters, groans, high pitch wails and jitters, knowing I'd be pitch shifting and slowing them down in post. 

There were 2 recording locations for this library. 1 in a small studio environment for super crisp isolated recordings and 1 in a small bathroom which offers some interesting resonances. 

Editing

These sounds have been recorded at a high sample rate of 192kHz and because of that, I'd recommend experimenting with pitch shifting and time stretching as the high sample rate retains a lot of the high frequencies. 

Both the high and low frequency textures I recorded were useful for layering in sound design as they blended together really well together.
