Paper Scratching

The audio commences with the distinct, sharp sound of something firm and pointed, possibly a coin, scraping across the surface of a paper. The rhythmic, continuous sound is instantly recognizable as scratching, akin to the noise one would make when scratching off the silver layer on a ticket or a scratch-card. The sound is crisp, creating a mental image of small silver particles being gradually brushed away to reveal the concealed information beneath. The audio progresses steadily, the scratching noise remaining consistent and clear, akin to the sound of suspense and anticipation often associated with the act of revealing a prize or a result on a scratch-card. The audio ends leaving an impression of an ongoing process, an unfinished task that leaves the listener in suspense, perhaps waiting to hear if the unknown scratch-card wielder has won a prize.
