How it's made
- Source
- a menu panel unfolding in two quick steps. Each step is a tiny plastic latch tick: a sub-2 ms high-passed noise contact.
- Body
- each tick excites two damped modes of a small light shell (about 2–4 kHz, upper mode at ratio ≈ 1.9–2.4) plus a very soft low tap that stops the tick from sounding thin.
- Envelope
- attack under 0.5 ms; modes fade 60 dB in 10–40 ms. The second tick follows 45–90 ms later, softer and tuned lower by 5–25 %, which gives the slight downward motion of the unfolding.
- Variation
- every render mistunes both ticks by up to ±2 % through `rng`, so repeated openings are not identical.
