clickety
Keyboard typing sound
Clickety represents a rapid series of clicking sounds, typically from mechanical action—typewriter keys, train wheels on tracks, knitting needles, or keyboard typing.
Often reduplicated for emphasis: clickety-clack, clickety-click.
The word evokes rhythm and repetition: The clickety-clack of her heels echoed down the hallway.
