Onomatopoeias depend on sound, to say nothing of the different interpretations in different languages for the same sound. The asymmetry is very subjective. Such answers are subject to one’s own experience. And they are.
Is the elevator working? If so, why? If the metal parts are failing, they are trying to move against one another. Or if the metal elevator is straining against the cables, or if the wire is being stretched.
“Creaking” works especially well, since it includes both squeaking sound one might hear from old, rusty, unoiled cables, as well as the grating noise one would hear from the metal parts pushing and grinding against one another. Even moreso, since it also describes an object that is moving whilst making this sound (A creaking elevator could mean that it is making this sound while moving, both implying the sound and the difficulty with which it moves).

Asked on April 6, 2021 in American english.
Love is a particularly widely-used word in the English language – to the point where in some areas it has lots its significance as a term of affection.
I love you” would probably not go out of place when in the company of a very good friend, even one that you could be interested in romantically (and incidentally, “I want you” would definitely be a much more intense and forward way of saying you’re romantically interested in a person).
If you want an alternative to express your approval in a much less forward way, “I like you” works, though it’d be considered somewhat weak and non-committal. 1. An individual would expect a person to take offence to their actions and you would be seen.
In that instance, you were done.
