Television Turned On

The audio clip begins with the soft click of a television switch being pressed. This is followed by a brief, anticipatory silence, a familiar pause that is part of the nostalgic ritual of turning on a television. Then there's a low hum, gradually growing in volume, as the television awakens from its dormant state. This is accompanied by the gentle crackling of static electricity, a sound effect that signifies the flickering transition of the television screen from black to illuminated. The audio finishes with the faint but distinctive white noise, a constant background sound that is synonymous with a television set left on, completing the auditory experience of a television being turned on.
