Light Switch Sound Effects

Light Switch sound effects for the small click that starts a lot of scenes. Switches flicked on and off around the house and in hotel rooms, recorded alongside the rest of the room: the bathroom fan, the toilet flush, doors, drawers and the lift. Tiny sounds. They do a surprising amount of work when a character walks into a dark room.

Light switches often get added in the edit, because a switch on a built set is usually just for show. Here they're recorded with the household sounds around them, from the oven and fridge to a Bathroom with its fan and Shower. That helps. A switch from the same set of recordings as the rest of the room sits better than something pulled from elsewhere, and it saves hunting for a match. Hotel rooms add stairwells and the lift, and there are small machine button clicks for anything with a panel instead of a wall plate.
