Bathroom Door
An unsettling pad sound created from a creaky door

The story
The mechanism in the door handle to the bathroom has a squeaky spring in it. It really needs oiling, but it is one of those jobs that never seems to get high enough on the priority list. So it makes this weird scraping sound every time you open the door…
It turns out that it scrapes with a perfect C2! So here’s a very processed version that ends up as an unsettling pad sound. From left to right, the microphones start out with tone, and get noisier and grittier to the right, with the actual door sample providing the ‘clicks’ in the middle.
This is not a bathroom in which you want to spend much time!

Sparkling and warm texture
Definitely cannot imagine the sound from the title!! It is warm, wobbling sound but also sounds like a talking pad. Very unique texture.
Evolving spooky textures
Every time i see this simplest I've come to expect something creative and unsettling. This instrument is so interesting and scary. I usually dont download these spookier sounds as i dont use them often but I'm thinking its time to organize my piano book libraries into separate folders and create a folder for scary sounds for when i need them. This sound is just too good to pass up. It has a metallic, creaky sound but also kind of has a windiness about it. It keeps evolving and creates so much tension just on its own. As always the GUI offers alot of controllability. Awesome
OH THE HORROR
Ok, door noises can be terrifying at times, but I never expected THIS kind of horror, and I say that with the best intentions in mind! It sounds horrifyingly good, with tons of personalization options in order to make it perfect for you. I did find that some sub-frequencies tend to build up in the left channel more than the right one, but it is honestly a very minor detail. Good job!
