Yeah yeah Fun fact: car companies have design people specifically focused on making sure doors close with a satisfying thunk I bet there’s product design literature on this. I suspect there’s a strong aural component. It’s a kind of anti-music, like anti-jokes.

There’s no tension-resolution thing going on. It’s just straight up resolution. Like anti jokes aren’t incoherent or unfunny, they just don’t set up and resolve a premise. But I’m not attached to the idea. Just seems to fall short of musicality.

The design examples have precision of fit going on but the soap and other found-ritual examples seem to have significant messiness and imprecision In fact we might have here a perfect challenge for you: the oddly satisfying mess. Extra credit: involving mild destruction

Replying to and
Dominoes are a good example. Mildly destructive, no surprises in the information revealed by falling cascade. Just oddly satisfying validation with mild garnish of zemblanity. Messiness is hard to inject there though.
