That'd be the one on three.  It's unsetting because it sounds so much
like something, but I don't know what.  I'd be very surprised if that's
a 'standard' percussive sound.

To go on a tangent, there's a fine line between a common noise used as
percussion and a percussion sound that can live on its own.  Eg. the
cup and the cowbell.  Whereas a glass cup being hit reminds the
presence of a cup, the cowbell is way into percussive instrument land
and does not bring to mind pastures, cows or other farmyard concerns.

Sure.  Thanks.
