This 14-second clip captures steady footsteps descending a staircase, each step landing with a clear wooden echo. It feels ordinary and a little tense, like someone quietly coming downstairs while a room waits to see who appears. The recording comes from a BBC stairs sound, keeping the movement plain and easy to place in a scene.
