what an apple sounds like

An apple gives away almost nothing when it's just sitting there, so all three clips are about what happens to it. Rolled across a hard counter, it makes a dull, uneven thump-thump-thump — heavier and less bouncy than a ball, because an apple isn't quite round and doesn't spin true. Sliced in half, a knife going through the flesh makes a quick, wet crunch with a faint crack as it splits the skin and hits the board underneath — much sharper than cutting something soft like bread, much wetter than cutting something dry like a carrot. The clearest tell is the bite: a single crisp, juicy crack, followed by a slightly muffled chewing sound as the mouth closes around it. That bite sound is what most people can identify blind, since it's sharper and juicier than biting into bread, softer and wetter than biting into a raw carrot or a nut. Apples are confused most often with pears and other firm fruit — the family that shares that same crisp bite.
