creaky floors
Loud old boards
Creaky floors are floorboards that make squeaking or groaning sounds when walked upon, typically from age, loose boards, or wood rubbing against nails.
The phrase evokes old houses, haunted settings, or the impossibility of moving quietly: The creaky floors betrayed every midnight trip to the kitchen.
