About this sound

An AI-generated sound effect: “Single crisp, sharp clicking sound of upper and lower human teeth gently tapping together, dry hard enamel texture, tight snappy attack, soft quick natural decay, no ambient noise, no added effects, just the pure isolated contact of teeth”. Quality-checked before listing, free for commercial and personal projects — videos, games, podcasts, apps and client work. No royalties and no attribution needed.

Direct file: WAV · 44.1 kHz — both WAV and MP3 are on the download button.

Editor's note (8.0/10): The dry enamel contact texture and clean attack/decay perfectly match the brief, though the clip contains three separate discrete tap events rather than a single isolated click.

Sound effect licensing — common questions

Is "Gentle Tooth Taps" free to use commercially?
Yes. "Gentle Tooth Taps" is free for commercial and personal use under the BudgetPixel Audio Content License — monetised YouTube videos, podcasts, games, apps, ads, streams, films and client work are all covered, with no fees, royalties or subscription. The one limit is redistribution: you cannot resell or re-upload the file as audio itself, on a stock site, in a sample pack, as a dataset, or anywhere the audio is the product.
Do I have to credit BudgetPixel to use "Gentle Tooth Taps"?
No. Attribution is never required for this sound effect, and downloading it needs no account. A credit is welcome but it is not a condition of the licence.
What format and length is "Gentle Tooth Taps"?
"Gentle Tooth Taps" runs 3.2 seconds and downloads as WAV at 44.1 kHz, with MP3 on the same download button. Both formats carry the identical licence, so pick whichever your editor prefers — WAV for layering and pitch work, MP3 when file size matters.
Can I use "Gentle Tooth Taps" in a monetised YouTube video?
Yes. Monetised video is explicitly permitted. BudgetPixel does not register library audio with Content ID, so this sound effect will not trigger a copyright claim against your upload — and you may not register it with any content-identification system yourself.

Takes ~15 seconds. Add a length like “6 seconds” (up to 10s). Good sounds join the library.

Need it longer or kept private? The audio workshop goes past the 10-second free cap and keeps your generations to your account.
