The audio clip begins with the distinctive creaking sound of a chair, creating an atmosphere of a quiet, serene office setting. This sound effect, reminiscent of old wooden furniture, is heard throughout. It's indicative of someone, perhaps the unseen Captain, shifting his weight or leaning back in his chair, adding a layer of authenticity and realism. The subtlety of this sound effect evokes an image of an old, weathered chair in a nautical-themed office, contributing to the overall ambiance of a whale watching office. The creaking effect is pronounced yet unobtrusive, painting a vivid auditory picture of a moment captured within Captain Stan MacKinnon's work environment.
