A heavy safe clang and thud sound effect from the Donald Duck cartoon Timber, with a deep metal hit and low impact used for slapstick falls and cartoon drops.

This is a very short, heavy impact made of two layers in quick succession, a bright metallic clang followed immediately by a deep, dull thud. The metal hit brings the cartoon weight, like a steel safe door slamming or landing, while the low thud underneath sells the mass hitting the ground. At under half a second it feels abrupt and final, the classic slapstick punctuation for something impossibly heavy falling, crashing down, or knocking a character flat, turning a visual gag into a physical joke you can feel as much as hear.

The sound is catalogued in the Hollywood Edge library as a heavy bonk built from a bass drum and cymbal gong, and this version is associated with the Donald Duck cartoon Timber, released on 10 January 1941. Timber was a wartime era Disney short built around physical lumberjack gags, where exaggerated impacts carried much of the comedy. Library effects like this were reused across cartoons for decades, which is why the clang and thud still feels instantly familiar and remains a go to choice for retro cartoon falls and heavy object drops online.
