A small card being flicked: a short paper edge of noise, a low wooden thump underneath, and a high tick as it settles. Use it for switching tabs, changing panels, stepping through a wizard, or any place where two views swap places. Short enough that clicking through ten tabs still sounds tidy.

How it was made

flick: white noise 34 ms, band-pass sweeping 3200 Hz -> 1400 Hz (a 1400 Hz floor plus 1800 Hz of travel), Q 1.3
thump: sine falling 172 Hz -> 88 Hz over 70 ms (84 Hz of drop on top of an 88 Hz floor)
tick: 3 ms of noise at 28 ms, band-pass 5.2 kHz, Q 2
low-pass 8 kHz to take the fizz off
envelope: 1 ms attack, 28 ms decay on the flick, 60 ms on the thump
