Bonk Sound Effect

📝 Description

The bonk is cartoon physics distilled to a single hollow knock — the sound of a head meeting an obstacle with consequences measured in stars circling rather than actual harm. Internet culture gave it a second career as the official noise of correction: a bonk administered to anyone whose thoughts wandered somewhere they should not. Use it for doorframe collisions, failed duck attempts, and slapstick of every kind, or as the meme-fluent way to discipline a friend in chat. It is violence with the safety on — nobody has ever been hurt by a bonk, only humbled. Short, dry, and endlessly repeatable.
