Quote

Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.

Spoiler
  • Corn starch in a leather pouch makes the sound of snow crunching.[2]
  • A pair of gloves sounds like bird wings flapping.[2]
  • An arrow or thin stick makes a whoosh.[2]
  • An old chair makes a controllable creaking sound.[2]
  • A water-soaked rusty hinge when placed against different surfaces makes a creaking sound. Different surfaces change the sound considerably.[2]
  • A heavy staple gun combined with other small metal sounds make good gun noises.[2]
  • A metal rake makes the rattle/squeak sound of chain-link fence; it can also make a metallic screech when dragged across a piece of metal.[2]
  • A heavy car door and fender can create most of the car sounds needed, but having a whole car in the studio is better.[2]
  • Burning plastic garbage bags cut into strips makes a realistic sounding candle or soft non-crackling fire when the bag melts and drips to the ground.[2]
  • ¼-inch audio tape balled up sounds like grass or brush when walked upon.[2]
  • Gelatin and hand soap make squishing noises.[2]
  • Frozen romaine lettuce makes bone or head injury noises.[2]
  • Coconut shells cut in half and stuffed with padding makes horse hoof noises;[2] this is parodied in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
  • Cellophane creates crackling fire effects.[2]
  • A selection of wooden and metal doors is needed to create all sorts of door noises, but also can be used for creaking boat sounds.[2]
  • Acorns, small apples and walnuts on a wooden parquet surface can be used for bones breaking
  • Canned dog food can be used for alien pod embryo expulsions and monster vocalizations.[10]

† These effects were parodied in The Firesign Theatre's audio play The Further Adventures of Nick Danger

I will provide more examples simple things we can create.
