Balloon Losing Air

This audio clip begins with the familiar, high-pitched squeal of a balloon being stretched open, followed by the abrupt release of air. It's a sound that immediately brings to mind an image of a vibrant, overfilled balloon slowly losing its shape. The air hastily escapes, creating a sound reminiscent of a flatulence. The balloon's shrill protests gradually subside, its size dwindling as the air continues to seep out. The clip ends with a final, pitiful hiss as the balloon fully deflates, its once taut surface now a crumpled, lifeless shell. The listener is left with a sense of temporary amusement, followed by an odd sense of loss.
