This is a SoundFX trope relating to any robot, {{cyborg}} or MechanicalLifeform that makes mechanical creaking sounds when they move around. Most RealLife robots tend to make loud snaps and hissing noises due to the hydraulics or compressed air they use for movement and creaking noises mean that somebody has to pick up the oilcan ''stat'' unless they fancy replacing components. In the case of dangerous robots in fiction, it ramps up the tension, but also makes it easier for the protagonists to run or hide.
