The audio clip titled "Pill Bottle Audio Clip from July 17, 1972" starts with the audible sound of a plastic cap being unscrewed from a pill bottle. The distinctive hollow scraping noise of the cap turning, accompanied by the slight squeak of the plastic threads, is very clear. Following this, there's a subtle shake of the bottle, resulting in a rattle as the pills inside collide with each other, and with the sides of the bottle. The sound effect of the pills is a gentle, almost soothing rustle, reminiscent of pebbles being gently agitated in a closed container. The clip concludes with the cap being firmly screwed back onto the bottle; the same scraping and squeaking sounds from the beginning are heard, but in reverse order, signifying closure. The entire audio provides a vivid aural representation of the simple act of opening a pill bottle, extracting a pill, and then closing the bottle again.
