About this sound

“flick flick”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in April 2020
“This one was a real doozy. So I got out my handy dandy Portacapture and I flicked the lighter, and it made a noise so beautiful, I couldn't even believe it. It sounded like Lyrical Lemonade just came into my house.”
Jayden, on making this sound (October 2026)

Just a lighter getting flicked a bunch of times over about 8 seconds. Each one's a quick scrape and click, then it goes quiet till the next. It's bright, kinda hissy and on the quiet side. Easy to cut out a single flick if you only need one.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.44 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's done by 8.04 s. The last 0.35 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +1.4 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 3 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
