How it's made

Source
a fingertip grazing a small glass or plastic touch target. Contact is a soft 1–2 ms noise tick, high-passed above 1.5 kHz because a light touch carries almost no low-frequency energy.
Body
one lightly coupled, heavily damped surface mode (2.4–4.2 kHz) rings for about 20–40 ms (60 dB); there is no housing thock and no second mode, so the tap stays feather-light.
Envelope
attack under 0.5 ms, transient fully over within 8 ms, ringing gone by 0.06 s; the output is high-passed so nothing sits under 800 Hz, and there is no reverb, so the sound is very dry.
Variation
`rng` mistunes the mode by ±2 % and jitters the contact strength, so repeated taps in a long list do not sound identical; presets shift pitch, damping and contact hardness.
