Act of Coughing

The audio begins with the distinct, unmistakable sound of a cough. It's a harsh, raspy noise, indicative of an irritated throat. The sound is unpleasant, conjuring up images of sickness and discomfort. The coughing continues, varying in intensity, from a light clearing of the throat to heavy, chest-rattling hacks. It's a gross sound, the kind that makes you instinctively want to cover your mouth or step back. Amid the bouts of coughing, you can hear the ragged intake of breath, further emphasizing the person's physical discomfort. The audio ends with a final, lingering cough, leaving an echo of the unpleasant sound behind.
