Turning a Key sounds
Keys inserted, turned and removed from locks, ignitions and mechanisms, with single clicks contrasting longer wrenches, rattles and layered sequences that include car horns, footsteps or supernatural twists. Several horror, mystical and medieval takes sit alongside everyday and electronic variants. Most last just a few seconds so they work as distinct cues rather than sustained backgrounds.
