Naomi: Stop! Stop!
Omar: What’s the matter?
Naomi: My bike is making a strange sound.
Omar: What kind of sound?
Naomi: It’s a clanging sound followed by a hissing or buzzing noise. I need to pinpoint where it’s coming from.
Omar: Walk your bike and we’ll both listen, you on one side and me on the other.
Naomi: Okay, here goes. Hear that?
Omar: Yeah, but it’s more of a popping or pinging sound.
Naomi: It sounded different when I was riding it. I’ll get on and you run alongside. What do you hear?
Omar: I hear the whirring of the pedals and the creaking and rattling of the chain, but no clanging sound.
Naomi: I’ll speed up. What do you hear now?
Omar: Nothing, just the rustling of my own clothes.
Naomi: The sound gets louder as I speed up. I’ll go faster. Now what do you hear?
Omar: Just my own panting and…my… last gasp…
