trip-trap
Bridge-crossing sound effect
Trip-trap is the sound of light, rhythmic footsteps—hooves on a bridge, feet on stairs.
The word is onomatopoeic and strongly associated with the fairy tale "Three Billy Goats Gruff," where each goat goes trip-trap, trip-trap across the troll's bridge.
It suggests a quick, percussive beat rather than heavy footfalls.
