The audio recording begins with the robust sound of gusty wind and rain striking against a window. The wind howls fiercely, creating a constant whooshing noise, an authentic depiction of a violent weather scenario. Amidst this, you hear the rhythmical patter of raindrops hitting the windowpane - a steady, soothing counterpoint to the harsh wind. This is a sound effect or 'sfx' recording, also known as 'foley'. Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality. In this case, the foley represents a stormy weather scene. The balance of the gusty wind and the falling rain creates a dynamic soundscape, fully immersing the listener in the scene, making one feel as if they're inside a room, watching and hearing the storm from the safety of their window.
