Somehow these "sounds" carried over into animation. {{Anime}} characters make sounds like "poit" or something vaguely reminiscent of "piku". Western cartoon characters make a "plunk" or "plink" sound. In many cases for the latter, the standard StockSoundEffect for this is Creator/HannaBarbera's "[[https://www.sounddogs.com/media/fastpreview/Sounddogs-Preview-10295009.mp3 Xylo Eye Blinks]]."

These sound effects are usually reserved for intentional blinking, the blinking that indicates confusion or incomprehension. Frequent, involuntary blinking (like the kind you're doing right now) is left silent, because it would be very distracting otherwise. Unless, of course, said involuntary blinking is a [[TwitchyEye twitch]].

** The Wii remake gives Mr. Sandman a distinct squeak when he winks before throwing one of his powerful, lightning-fast uppercuts. This is your cue to punch him in the face before he does the same to you. It's also an InternalHomage to the first ''Punch Out'', where Mike Tyson would wink before throwing out fast straight punches, which did not give an audio cue, only a visual one.
