Creak

A creak was a noise.

In 2376, while speaking to Maggie O'Halloran, Harry Kim described the creaking of timbers on his "ship" (USS Voyager) (VOY: "Spirit Folk")

According to D'Vana Tendi, the USS Cerritos "shakes and creaks and moans at Warp 7". (LD: "Cupid's Errant Arrow")

In 2401, among the sounds Vadic recalled from the Project Proteus laboratory were the "creaks of cage doors." (PIC: "Dominion")
