I have always been curious as to the equipment that was
used to acquire the insertion (key) sound. Any ideas,
or experience?


These specialized sounds are called "Foley", named after
a real person. They're recorded separately from the movie
by folks who do just that. It's a specialized art, and
sometimes doesn't even come from a related source - kinda
like cocoanuts for horse's hooves.

Beyond that tidbit, I know nothing.

Thanks, as always,
