Key sound effects for both kinds of key. Door keys jangle on a ring before sliding into a lock with a heavy clunk, and car keys go in before anything starts. Fantasy games get the ornate kind, for chests and dungeon doors. Then the typing sort. Old typewriter keys hammer away at the page, loud and mechanical.

Keys are small sounds that carry a lot of story. A jangle in the hallway says someone's home, and fumbling at a lock says they're scared or in a hurry. The car recordings put the key alongside the rest of the cabin foley, so the ignition can sit with the Seatbelt and the Handbrake from the same car. In games a key pickup wants something bright that reads straight away, while the unlock needs weight. Typewriter keys are a different animal, all clatter.
