Hi everyone.

Thanks for all of the sounds here. I have downloaded so many amazing sounds, and am really grateful for this site.

Virtually the one sound that i have not been able to find anywhere is a good metal tearing/shearing sound. You know the kind of thing I mean. When metal is put under immense stress, it makes that slow groaning sound. Anything along those lines would be great. Metal groaning/shearing/tearing. Picture something like the sound inside a modern battleship that has been hit by a torpedo and is slowly buckling under its own weight, or a building that is collapsing, and the metal supports are not taking the load, they start to bend. It is that sort of sound I am after.

Thanks again everyone.

Try playing around with these

Try slowing down this squeaky gate ... http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=32839

This pack of mine may be of use ... http://www.freesound.org/packsViewSingle.php?id=5101 (not as good as Acclivity's gate though).

These might be of use as well

Try this to see what you think- its a wooden door (on metal hinges)

It sounds a bit metallic but also a bit wooden :?

I have something that might work but it needs to be approved first (just uploaded). I'll post back with a link when that happens.

Hi guys.

Some of these sounds might be just the thing, though I will probably have to tinker around a little with them.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

cheers.

Sorry for the delay. Try this one.

I know this thread is really old but just wanted to say thank you! Currently creating a sound for the Titanic hitting the iceberg for the musical Titanic, and these sounds are perfect.
