Weird sound effects

A tone that drifts and never lands on a pitch. This is the card most edits reach for first, because an unresolved pitch keeps a listener waiting for something that does not arrive.

Something thick folding over itself, wet and irregular. It sounds alive without belonging to any animal, which is why it works where a recognisable creature would be too specific.

A thin sheet bent by hand, shimmering as the bend travels through it. The resonance moves with the material, so the pitch bends in a way no instrument does.

A dry tap whose ring outlasts it by several seconds. The mismatch is the whole trick: the ear expects a small object and gets a tail belonging to a much larger one.

A wet fingertip dragged across stretched rubber, catching and slipping. It sits high and thin enough to cut through a busy track without turning anything up.

Thick ice failing slowly under its own weight, thousands of tiny fractures. Eight seconds of it is enough to hold a long shot with nothing else on the track.
