Spike Jones did that.
Yes, Leroy Anderson with the typewriter and Christopher Rouse I think used sandpaper blocks. I am sure there are many more composers too.
Leroy Anderson (1908 - 1975)
He was famous for being the arranger for the Boston Pops Orchestra when Arthur Fiedler was director.
The Typewriter 1950 A famous piece in which an actual typewriter is the solo "instrument".
The Syncopated Clock 1945 About an "unsteady" clock.
Sandpaper Ballet 1954 Recreates the old days of vaudeville when soft-shoe dancers spread sand on stage. Three grades of sandpaper are used.

It could also be Erik Satie, who incorporated these sounds into his ballet 'Parade'.
