Striking Barrels

The audio titled "Striking Barrels" begins with a distinct, sharp sound of impact, likely a strike against a metallic surface. It resonates, creating an echoing clang that's immediately identifiable as a hard, flat plate of metal being hit. Following the initial impact, there's a short pause before you hear a high-pitched squeak. It's reminiscent of the sound produced when metal scrapes against metal, likely a rusty hinge or the friction of a rusty lid being pried open. The squeak then gives way to a subtle rustling noise. It isn't loud or harsh, more like the soft, almost comforting sound of dry leaves rustling in the wind. However, given the context, it's more likely the rustle of something within the barrel shifting. Shortly after, a unique sound emerges. It's the unmistakable hum of air passing through a duct, a low, reverberating drone that adds an eerie undertone to the soundscape.
