This audio piece, titled "Car Brakes," is a comprehensive depiction of the sounds associated with a car coming to a halt. The audio begins with the low hum of a car engine running smoothly on a road. The sound of tires rolling on the asphalt can be heard distinctly, giving a sense of a moving vehicle. As the audio progresses, listeners can perceive a change in the car's speed. The hum of the engine grows louder, and the noise of the tires rolling increases, indicating an acceleration in the car's speed. Then, there's a shift in the audio. The once loud and continuous hum of the engine decreases and the rolling tires' noise eases, replaced by a distinct, high-pitched squealing noise. This sound is instantly recognizable as the sound of car brakes being applied. The squealing sound is sharp, almost grating, and it fluctuates in intensity, mimicking the way a driver might pump the brakes to bring a speeding car under control.
