How it's made

Source
knuckles rapping a wooden door. The flesh-and-bone contact is a soft 2–6 ms low-passed noise burst (1–3 kHz corner) plus a short 70–110 Hz thump from the finger mass; a harder rap is brighter and shorter.
Body
a panel door rings in a few heavily damped inharmonic modes (≈ 1 : 1.9 : 2.8 : 4.1 : 5.7, T60 40–140 ms) near 170–330 Hz; a hollow-core door adds an air-cavity resonance (110–230 Hz, Q 5–12) that gives the low-mid "boom"; a 1.2–2 kHz band adds the frame and surface click.
Envelope
each rap peaks within 1 ms and the body is 20 dB down after about 60 ms; the knock-knock-knock slows slightly and each rap is a little softer, finishing near 0.4 s with a short fade for a clean tail.
Variation
`rng` jitters timing (±6 %), strength and mode tuning (±2 %) of every rap; `size` scales the mode and cavity frequencies, `hollow` the cavity level, `damping` the T60 of the modes.
