Gong Sound Effect

📝 Description

The gong is finality you can feel in your sternum — a vast bronze bloom that has opened ceremonies, ended rounds, and announced dinner in grand houses for centuries. One strike reorganizes a room: whatever was happening before the gong is over, and whatever follows is official. Use it to open and close segments with ceremony, to score dramatic entrances, and to end debates with imperial authority. It also lands comedically when the announcement is trivial — gong, the laundry is done. Few sounds carry this much ritual per strike; spend its gravity wisely.
