Clock sound effects, from a quiet tick in an empty room to a big old chime. Antique clocks whirring before they strike, and tiny gears clicking inside a watch. A chess clock gets slapped mid-game. Then school corridors and flats where a clock is simply there in the background, ticking while nobody speaks. Time passing, basically.

A ticking clock is an old trick in film sound, and it still works. Drop a Tick into a quiet room and the silence suddenly has a pulse. Speed it up and the tension climbs. The antique recordings give you character, old mechanisms that wheeze and clunk, and a Grandfather Clock is the classic for a hallway at night. Tiny mechanism recordings suit watches and wind-up toys, while motion graphics designers use ticks for countdowns on screen. Room tones with a clock already in them save layering, since the tick sits in the right space from the start. Thrillers and puzzle games use clocks mostly to make someone nervous.
