The audio begins with the faint sound of a balloon being inflated. The tension building as it swells larger and larger, with the rubber stretching tight. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation. Then, the sharp and distinct sound of a needle being taken out pierces the air. It's a contrast to the earlier noise, promising suspense. The needle edges closer to the balloon, the silence almost deafening. Then, without warning, the inevitable happens. A loud 'pop' echoes, the sound of the balloon bursting. It's sudden, sharp, and echoes for a moment before fading, leaving behind the silence once again. The sound design creates a vivid picture of a balloon's life from inflation to its sudden and dramatic end.
