Unlock Sound Effects

Unlock sound effects for doors and for games. On the physical side there are locks and keys, with small mechanisms clicking over. On the game side it's the other kind of unlock, with level-ups and chests opening. Different jobs. Plenty of the game sets come in genre styles, from cartoon to horror.

In a game, an unlock marks a step forward, so it needs to stand apart from the ordinary menu clicks. The menu sets here put the unlock right next to the confirm sounds in matching styles, which keeps a whole interface consistent. For bigger moments there's Achievement and Reward material, with reveals and anticipation risers. Real locks are a foley job. Lock and lever mechanisms suit doors and safes, and they make a decent base for a sci-fi lock too.
