Clank sound effects, for metal that knocks rather than rings. Short and heavy. Tiny gear mechanisms click and clank away, steampunk machinery turns its gears and knocks metal on metal, and daggers and swords scrape out of their sheaths. Rusty old gym machines squeak and creak too. Some of it is small enough for a wristwatch, and some needs a whole workshop of old machinery behind it.

A clank sits somewhere between a click and a Clang, and these libraries cover the whole spread. The small end is detailed work, tiny gears clicking and turning, which suits watches and little robots. Bigger mechanisms come from old Workshop machinery and steampunk contraptions, while the robot recordings bring servo motors and hydraulic actuators. Daggers and swords add their own metallic clanks for fight scenes. A clank tucked under a robot joint gives it weight. Steampunk games and factory floors get the most out of the bigger stuff, and all of it is royalty-free.
