How it's made

Source
a small brass key lifted off a surface and swung against its neighbours: a few light metal-on-metal taps (1–2 ms noise ticks), followed by a settling ring of the key itself.
Body
a small thin metal blade rings in stretched, inharmonic modes (≈ 1 : 2.76 : 5.4 : 8.9), 2–4.5 kHz fundamental. Upper modes die first (30–120 ms), the fundamental rings 0.1–0.7 s, so each tap is bright and its tail is pure. Modes above 14 kHz are dropped to avoid aliasing and harshness.
Envelope
1–6 taps about 32 ms apart, each softer and slightly lower in pitch as the jangle settles, then one stronger bright accent note (a perfect fifth above) that carries the "got it" feeling and rings out.
Variation
`rng` jitters tap timing (±8 ms), pitch (±3 %) and strength; macros set pitch, ring time, brightness, jangle count and accent level.
