Xoxox has released Friction, a new VST designed to synthesizer friction effects:

The friction algorithm is combined with a 2nd order mass-spring and two waveguide resonances for flexible emulative application.

Presets include squealing tires, squeaky hinges and axles, ww2 bombs, swingsets, etc.

The license is $15 (or $10 for current customers). The demo removes some parameters.

Preview friction below. Note: it’s pretty painful:

something to think about

When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan’s Cathedral. In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment. — Stephen Halpern
