A sound producing mechanism for a spinning reel includes a first sound producing portion that is coupled to a spool shaft and has an attachment portion and a plurality of saw tooth portions that are formed in a saw tooth shape circumferentially apart on an outer peripheral surface of the attachment portion; and a second sound producing portion that is attached to the spool and includes a pawl member that repeatedly comes into contact with the saw tooth portions to produce sound. The first sound producing portion is mounted to the spool shaft so as to be unrotatable when the spool rotates in a line releasing direction and rotatable when the spool rotates in a line winding direction. The pawl member is urged toward the saw tooth portions by a spring member. The spinning reel sound producing mechanism produces sound only when the spool rotates in the line releasing direction.
