How it's made
- Source
- a socket ratchet turned in its free direction. Each tooth the pawl rides over drops back into the next gear notch: a 0.5–2 ms noise click (2–9 kHz) from the spring-loaded pawl hitting steel.
- Body
- the gear and head ring as small inharmonic steel modes (2.5–9 kHz, 25–90 ms); the handle and head add a weak low resonance (700–1500 Hz) that gives each tick its "tok" weight.
- Envelope
- a stroke is a run of 6–16 ticks whose spacing eases in and out (hand accelerates, then brakes) at roughly 25–60 ticks/s; between strokes the wrist returns in a 0.1 s pause with one soft re-grip tap.
- Variation
- `rng` jitters tick timing (±8 %), level (pawl bounce) and mode tuning (±2 %), so no two ticks match. Size scales every mode down in pitch and up in decay; `ring` sets the modal damping.
