The audio begins with a gentle pitter-patter, the distinctive sound of raindrops lightly striking the surface of a plastic bin. As the rain intensifies, so does the rhythm. It transforms from a soft ticking into a rapid, insistent pouring. The rainfall is ceaseless, like a deluge invading a quiet night. The contact-mic enhances each drop's impact, enriching the audio with a depth that makes you feel as though you're right there, standing beside the bin. The sound isn't uniform; it varies in pitch and intensity, creating a symphony of splashes and pings. As the rain continues to fall, it starts to accumulate, creating a pool in the bottom of the trash can. The hollow sound of drops hitting the empty can shifts to a rich, resonant tone as the drops begin to splash against the accumulated water. The audio then escalates, mimicking the sound of a torrent or flood, as the rain seems to pour even harder
