About this sound

Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey

This is a ratchet getting cranked in short bursts. You get a few quick runs of clicks over about seven and a half seconds, each one stopping dead with a gap before the next. Real bright and clicky with hardly any low end. Easy to cut up into single bursts.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.95 s of quiet before the sound starts. Trim that off if it has to land right on a cut, a hit or a button press.
  • It peaks at +0.6 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 2 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
