The audio begins with the distinctive, echoing sound of a stone being dropped onto cement steps. You can hear the rough texture of the stone as it bounces and rolls down, creating a rhythm that resonates in the urban surroundings. The stone finally comes to rest at the bottom with a satisfying clink. Next, the audio shifts to the sound of an iron handrail. It's solid, metallic, and cold, evoking images of a sturdy, weathered handrail that's seen seasons pass. The sound reverberates as if someone's hand is running along it, the metal emitting a hollow, lonely sound that hums in the background. The combination of the stone, cement steps, and iron handrail paints an aural picture of a gritty, urban landscape. The harshness of the concrete, the solidity of rock, and the cold metallic of iron blend together to create a soundscape that's both stark and oddly comforting.
