Pluck sound effects, the quick twang of something tight being flicked. Violin strings plucked close for source material, and the soft plucky blips modern phones and apps use for notifications. Cartoon twangs and boings handle the comedy. Boing. A few stranger ones come from metal stairs on a ship and a pipe sunk into a lava field. Most are short and bright, made to sit on top of a moment rather than under it.

A pluck is a sharp start and a fast fade, which is why it works so well for notifications. Quick and clean. It gets noticed, then gets out of the way. The phone and menu libraries use that idea for alerts and selects, some in dry and phone speaker versions so you can hear how they'll land on a real device. The violin recordings go the other way, raw String source for designers to stretch and process into something new, with Bowing alongside. Cartoon twangs are made for timing gags, like a quick ping as something snaps back into place.
