The audio begins with the soft and almost indistinguishable whirring sound of a disposable camera being powered up. This is followed by a short pause, a quiet moment of anticipation. Suddenly, the familiar high-pitched whine of the camera's flash charging fills the air, increasing in intensity as the power builds up. The sound is reminiscent of a small engine revving up, a clear indication that the device is preparing to capture a moment.
