And used again, in a different hospital/medical lab setting, again for strapping down a research volunteer/patient/listener. Thanks yet again for making this sound available!

Used again as a basic ratchet-strap sound...but in a hospital/asylum-type setting. Patients being strapped to examination chairs, that sort of thing. Thanks yet again for recording this sound!

This is a really useful sound. This time around, I used it as the major part of the sound of a large spring-loaded trap being opened and reset. It wasn't quite the sound effect I was hoping to produce, but it did convey the idea of it quite nicely. Thanks again for recording!

I came back to this sound again, this time using a repetitive edit of part of it as the sound of a series of electrical contacts being connected. It worked out great and I was quite pleased with the results. Thanks again for recording it!

Best ratcheting sound I could find on FreeSound. Good quality, clear sound, and just what I needed for my latest creepy/horror ASMR video. Thanks for recording it!
