Door Sound Effects

Door sound effects, and there are a lot of doors. Creaky wooden doors in old houses, heavy castle doors, slamming car doors, sliding glass, metal hatches and sci-fi airlocks hissing open. Opens, closes, slams, knocks and locks. Doors get recorded more than almost anything else, for good reason. A door tells you where you are and how someone feels.

Car doors are harder to get right than they look. A good car door is a handle pull, a latch and a heavy thunk, and an expensive car has a deeper, tighter thud than a cheap one. From the cabin side it sounds completely different to the kerb side. Most vehicle libraries record both, along with the Trunk, the Hood and the Window. Indoors, the size of the room and the weight of the door do the talking. A slow creak builds dread. A slam ends an argument. Game teams need plenty of variations so the same door never repeats itself, which is why so many of these come in sets.
