screaking

John's heart sank, but at that very moment he heard a renewed screaking of the drive.

The awfulest thing was the silence; there wasn't a sound but the screaking of the saddles, the measured tramplings, and the sneezing of the horses, afflicted by the smothering dust-clouds which they kicked up.

We didn't say anything, and so it was very still for a second or so, and there warn't no sounds but the screaking of the woodwork and the chug- chugging of the machinery down below.
