The door slammed to the strong wind.
Closed with a loud bang
My bike wheel is squeaking, I have to put some oil on it
High, irritating noise
We could hear the music pounding through the wall
Dull, beating sound
The old wooden door creaked as I opened it
Noise of friction of wood/or metal
The sausages sizzled in the frying pan
Sound made by frying
A shot rang out
The sound of a gunshot
We could hear the waves crashing on the beach in the distance
Loud, heavy noise, typically used for waves
He always hoots/toots his horn to let us know he’s arrived
Sound made by a car horn
You can hear police car sirens wailing all night
Making a rising and failing sound
She hammered at the door
Knocked very loudly and repeatedly
There was an eerie silence in the old church
Rather scary
