The production team conceived of the TARDIS travelling by [[Teleportation|dematerialising]] at one point and rematerialising elsewhere, although sometimes in the series it is shown also to be capable of conventional space travel. In the 2006 Christmas special, "[[The Runaway Bride (Doctor Who)|The Runaway Bride]]", the Doctor remarks that for a spaceship, the TARDIS does remarkably little flying. The ability to travel simply by fading into and out of different locations became one of the trademarks of the show, allowing for a great deal of versatility in setting and storytelling without a large expense in special effects. The distinctive accompanying sound effect – a cyclic wheezing, groaning noise – was originally created in the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]] by sound technician [[Brian Hodgson]] by [[Tape recorder|recording on tape]] the sound of his mother's house key scraping up and down the [[Piano wire|strings of an old piano]]. Hodgson then re-recorded the sound by changing the tape speed up and down and splicing the altered sounds together.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Kistler |first1=Alan |title=Doctor Who: A History |date=1 October 2013 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1-4930-0016-6 |page=54 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OXRBBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA54 |access-date=1 July 2022 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2009-07-29/interview-doctor-whos-brian-hodgson-on-creating-the-sounds-of-the-tardis-and-daleks/|title=Interview: Doctor Who's Brian Hodgson on creating the sounds of the Tardis and Daleks|website=Radio Times|language=en|access-date=25 February 2019}}</ref> When employed in the series, the sound is usually synchronised with the flashing light on top of the police box, or the fade-in and fade-out effects of a TARDIS. Writer [[Patrick Ness]] has described the ship's distinctive dematerialisation noise as "a kind of haunted grinding sound",<ref>{{cite book |last=Ness |first=Patrick |date=2013 |title=Tip of the Tongue |location=London |publisher=[[Puffin Books]] |page=12 |isbn=978-1-405-91213-6}}</ref> while the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic strips traditionally use the [[onomatopoeic]] phrase "vworp vworp vworp".<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Butler |editor-first=David |title=Time and Relative Dissertations in Space: Critical Perspectives on Doctor Who |date=2007 |publisher=Manchester University Press |isbn=9780719076824 |page=38 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GQpoAAAAMAAJ&q=vworp+vworp |access-date=20 May 2020}}</ref>
