Gradual Popping Noise

As the audio begins, the quiet ambiance is gradually invaded by a soft popping sound. It's reminiscent of the crunching sound when one steps on a dry, brittle leaf underfoot. The noise slowly intensifies, echoing the experience of breaking a piece of wood - a stick, perhaps - in half. Each pop is distinct, like the sharp, sudden crack of twigs snapping under pressure. The rhythm is inconsistent, mirroring the unpredictability of stepping on a forest floor littered with fallen branches. The audio ends on a high note, with the final pop resounding like a climactic snap. Throughout, the soundscape maintains an organic, woody texture, invoking images of nature and the outdoors.
