Could you try to describe the sound you’re thinking of in more detail, or even better find a sound clip of it?

May 10, 2018 at 2:18	comment	added	Eliza S.		@jlovegren It's a city sidewalk; smooth concrete. The rain has only just begun, but the entire day has been heavy and misty. Cool weather. Not too hot, not too cold. There most likely aren't any deep puddles on the surface, though perhaps a thin layer of water?
