As the audio begins, the distinctive sound of a metal lid being scraped fills the air. The noise is sharp, metallic, and slightly grating, echoing around in a way that leaves no doubt about the material of the object. The scraping continues rhythmically, each repetition of the sound a little different from the last, hinting at a change in pressure or direction. Every now and then, the scrape shifts to a slightly higher pitch, suggesting the edge of the lid catching on something, before settling back to its regular tone. The audio experience is uniquely sensory, bringing to mind vivid images of metal on metal, and the effort involved in either opening or closing a particularly stubborn lid. The audio ends as it began, with the clear, unmistakable sound of a metal lid being scraped.
