The audio begins with the soft, rhythmic ticking of an antique pendulum clock. It's a rich, comforting sound, steady and unchanging. The pendulum swings back and forth with a quiet precision, each movement accompanied by the corresponding tick-tock. The sound is pure and resonant, evoking images of a stately grandfather clock standing tall in a quiet room, its polished wood gleaming under a soft light. There's a sense of history and timeless elegance to the sound, reminiscent of a bygone era. An occasional creaking noise adds character, a nod to the clock's age and the subtle wear-and-tear of its intricate inner workings. Every now and then, the gentle chime of the hour can be heard, a soft, melodious tone that rings out and then fades, leaving behind only the persistent ticking. It's a sound effect that creates an atmosphere of tranquility and calm, a Foley that transports you to a different time and place.
