Screen Door Sound Effect

📝 Description

This Screen Door sound effect is a wooden framed porch door opening and then banging shut on its spring, the loose mesh rattling in the frame as it lands. Recorded outdoors with the yard audible behind it, it carries an entire setting in a couple of seconds, which is why it has become shorthand for summer, small towns and houses where people come and go without knocking. Editors use it to move a character in or out of a scene without a cut, and it makes an unusually characterful stinger at the end of a beat.
