How it's made

Source
a spring-loaded pawl dropping into a notch of a small detented slider. The contact is a 0.5–1.5 ms band-limited noise burst, narrow because only a tiny plastic edge touches.
Body
the slider cap rings in one dominant damped mode (1.8–4.2 kHz, 8–30 ms) and a weak second mode at ≈ 2.2 × that, mostly absorbed; the housing adds a barely audible "tock" (220–380 Hz, under 12 ms) at a small fraction of the tick level, so the body is near silent.
Envelope
attack under 0.3 ms, modes fall 60 dB within the ≈ 0.05 s total; nothing sustains, so rapid repetition while dragging never smears into a buzz.
Variation
`rng` mistunes the mode by ±3 % and the contact level slightly, so repeats are not machine-gun identical; presets move pitch and damping between plastic, metal and rubber-damped detents.
