Gulp Sound Effect

📝 Description

The gulp is fear you can hear swallowing — the exaggerated glug of a throat processing bad news before the face has caught up. Cartoons canonized it: when a character gulps, consequences have entered the building. Use it before confronting a boss (workplace or video game variety), after reading a text that starts with we need to talk, or in any scene where courage is being manually assembled. It also works literally for drinking content and thirst-trap comedy. One gulp equals one unit of visible regret — dose accordingly.
