The squeaking sound from old playground swings comes from metal chains rubbing in their mounting brackets without proper lubrication. Parks typically use high-quality waterproof grease on swing bearings because they must withstand constant back-and-forth motion, rain, temperature swings, and sometimes decades of use. A single swing set can experience millions of cycles per year as countless children play. Modern swing sets often use sealed ball bearings pre-packed with synthetic grease designed to last 10-15 years without maintenance.
