You've probably [[Seen It a Million Times]] during [[The Golden Age of Animation]]. Here, a character eats a strip starting at one end of the corncob, along its long axis (takka takka takka), reaches the other end (ding!), rotates the corncob a few degrees and returns to the starting end (kachunk!), repeat. This action [[Don't Explain the Joke|mimics typing on an old-fashioned mechanical typewriter]] with moving carriage. They then continue in a different spot.
This trope [[Forgotten Trope|doesn't seem to be used anymore]] (and if ever used today, kids would ask [[What Are Records?|what the sounds are]]).
Compare [[Buzzsaw Jaw]], where the sound effect is (or at least can be) a buzzsaw.
