In the search to be cool in TV and cinema there is one sound effect any budding director will need to fall back upon: the click. Think about it, where would the action hero be without the crack of his knuckles and the cock of his gun to let everyone know he was dangerous? How else can we make a nerdy hacker seem cool and adventurous without his fingers blazing across the crackling keyboards? The "click" sound effect, the sound that accompanies the sudden application and release of pressure between mechanical objects is often used in moments of action. The short, punchy noise is already connected in our minds to dynamics and machinery due to the way that it's made in real life: bits of metal and machinery slide over each other and strike each other rapidly. The entire mechanical keyboard industry relies on a few people who find clicks so pleasant they're willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for a mechanical keyboard specifically because it clicks. As a result, audiovisual media will often overlay clicking sounds onto an action not necessarily just for portraying the real life sound but for denoting that something is actually happening at all under the surface, or that it's happening quickly or furiously. The same applies to mechanical construction, with a ratchet wrench's clicking being more satisfactory than silent tools. But that also makes it more prone to mistakes: The wrench is not supposed to click when applying the actual effort, but when "readying" it for another go. So we get the Dramatic Gun Cock where a click shows everyone's ready for action or the Land Mine Goes "Click!" to give that "Oh, Crap!" moment as something that the audience possibly still can't see is revealed. Knuckle Cracking can have the cricking of bones under The Hero's skin to show their hidden emotions or to portray their bodies as weapons made ready while Rapid-Fire Typing has the clackity-clackity of button clicking to emphasise a sense of activity, speed or urgent effort in the hacker's action while they're actually in a very still and sedentary position. Subtrope of Rule of Perception. Subtropes *Click* Hello Dramatic Gun Cock Knuckle Cracking Land Mine Goes "Click!" Lock and Load: Going through an often noisy proper-use routine to show that character does know how to use a gun. Noisy Guns Rapid-Fire Typing |
