Imagine you're in a big room with lots of soft pillows. When you walk across the room, it's quiet because the pillows absorb your footsteps. Now imagine that whole room is made of tiny, fluffy pillows, that’s what snow feels like for sounds. Snowy nights are quiet because snow absorbs sound instead of letting it bounce around.
Examples
- Walking on a snowy path feels quieter than walking on pavement.
- A snowstorm sounds like a whisper compared to the usual wind outside.
- You can hear your own voice more clearly when it's snowing.
