we need a "thwip!" effect vst...i d love a "snikt!" effect also for simulating Wolverine extracting claws :)
btw any chance you can find the thwip sound on the movie without having the soundtrack in the background? maybe on the scenes where Peter Parker discovers his new skills maybe?

It sounds something along the lines of someone rubbing their hand over a piece of synthetic fabric played backwards.

For the sound when the web attaches itself to something, they used lots of quarter inch audio tape and a leather strips/whip together hitting a surface - I guess the leather gives the impact hit, with the audio tape giving a more web-like/organic texture to the sound. For the web-sling, I guess it would be a case of slinging things past a microphone, to get the appropriate whoosh effect - try some coins or other small objects.

here you go, an interview with Paul Ottosson:
Similarly, is there a core sound that makes up the flight of the web? I went to the biggest stage here at Sony one weekend, the one just beneath the water tower, and I set up a series of microphones. I also got this super-powerful slingshot that you strap on your wrist and I took different pipings and fittings of odd shapes that would make friction in the air and produce weird sounds - the ones that sounded really great were the brass and copper pipings. They would spin so fast in the air and they had holes that gave them odd whistles. So I'd shoot these across the stage and attach various metal wires to get different sounds out of them. I spent the whole day shooting stuff and recorded it through the array of microphones. Then, I brought those recordings into my studio and made them sound good for the movie. I'd take out the background noise, but I'd also have to lengthen them because when I shot them they were really, really fast, but for the movie we needed something that would travel for 4 or 5 seconds which we could pan. So, we layered the sounds to achieve this. It was a lot of work, but it came out really good.
