You spell a squeak sound as squeak, which is the standard onomatopoeic spelling for that high-pitched noise. The word squeak itself imitates the sound it describes. To spell the sound effect in writing, you can write squeak, eek, eep, cheep, peep, or squeak squeak for repeated squeaks. The most common and correct spelling is S Q U E A K, pronounced skweek. For example, you would write the mouse went squeak squeak or the door went eek. If you want to show long squeak, you can write squeeeeeak or eeeeeek with extended e's. In comics, you might see SQUEAK in capitals with exclamation marks. For animal sounds, you might also write cheep cheep for birds or mice. The key spelling rule is queak not queek, so squeak not squeek. The adjective is squeaky, verb squeaked, squeaking. So to spell a squeak sound in a story or description, write squeak for general use, eek for short sharp squeak, or cheep for tiny animal squeak. All are acceptable onomatopoeia but squeak is the standard dictionary word.
