Paper sound effects, from a page turning in a quiet library to a box being torn open. Sheets crumpled into balls and cardboard dragged across a floor. Fountain pens scratching across the page. Small, dry sounds that sell a scene without anyone noticing them, and plenty of them made for game menus too.

Paper changes character with weight. Thin pages flutter and whisper, while card and cardboard thud and creak. The big paper libraries cover handling in detail: a Page Turn at different speeds, crumpling, tearing, and boxes being moved and opened. Foley for writing comes from fountain pens, ready to sit under a close-up of a Book or a letter. Game teams use paper differently. Short, crisp rustles work well as menu and inventory sounds, especially for maps and quest logs, which is why so many UI and crafting libraries include them.
