SCREAK, This word is only a different orthography of screech and shriek, but is not elegant.

To utter suddenly a sharp shrill sound or outcry to scream as in a sudden fright also, to creak, as a door or wheel. See Screech.

When applied to things, we use creak, and when to persons, shriek, both of which are elegant.

SCREAK, n. A creaking a screech.
