Object

Cavern Whistling Drafts

Intermittent whistling drafts rush through the wet, dark cavern interior, where plant life hangs thick and razor stalactites jut overhead. These air currents produce sharp, echoing whistles that blend with loud drips and scampering claws, distorting footsteps and turning ambient noise into perceived threats. Unseen creatures amplify the acoustic menace as drafts sweep past.
