clicking sounds
Sharp percussive taps
Clicking sounds are short, sharp noises made by objects striking together or mechanisms engaging—the click of a lock, a camera shutter, fingers snapping.
The phrase often describes the rapid succession of such sounds: The clicking sounds of keyboards filled the office.
Some languages use clicking sounds as consonants.
