From the sources

Turn your MacBook into a squeaky door. Every lid movement triggers a satisfying creak. Reads the built-in AppleHID lid sensor at 60fps to detect the slightest movement. Playback speed maps to lid velocity — slow creaks and fast snaps sound completely different. Haunted door cracks, cat meows, alien whispers, whale songs, wind effects, and more. All generated in real-time. No dock icon, no windows. Just a tiny menu bar icon to toggle, adjust volume, and pick sounds. Under 1 MB. Near-zero CPU usage. Built natively in Swift with AVAudioEngine. MIT licensed. Signed and notarized by Apple. No tracking, no telemetry, nofrom crackmacapp.com
