Tearing Paper Towels

This audio recording begins with the distinctive, crisp sound of a roll of paper towels being handled. There's a brief pause, then the clear, unmistakable noise of a single paper towel being ripped from the roll. It's a quick, sharp sound, a combination of the tearing of the paper and the slight rustle of the towel's texture. This is followed by the softer, yet still distinct sound of the torn paper towel being crumpled up. The process is repeated several times, each rip echoing with a satisfying, almost rhythmic quality. You can almost visualize the paper towel roll spinning slightly with each piece that's removed. The audio ends leaving behind a sense of completion, almost as if a chore has been efficiently accomplished.
