Small, plastic ruler springing against table

The really silly sound that plastic rulers make when you hold them off the side of a table and smack the hanging side. I had accidentally snapped the ruler in half, though.

Recorded on a Windows 10 computer with Audacity through a RODE NT1, going through a Behringer U-Phoria UM2. I'm pretty sure I hadn't needed to do any post-processing.

(Also the ruler was red, which explains the file name. Don't know why I thought the color was that important...)
