Sensory detail:sound

It sounds like a train going by a house making metal pipes shake. Knocking things off there shelves and waking the residents of the house. Then passes temporarily leaving the house in peace.

Then it starts sounding like a ghostly wail in a rickety old haunted house. Then the symphony of harmonicas and trumpets comes in. Joining the ghostly wail in it's sad lonely song and makes the room shake even more like it might cave in. Slowly scaring away everyone who comes near making the ghost wail more in it's loneliness.

Also it kind of sounds like a hollow metal pole being slammed against a hard metal wall making it vibrate violently. Shaking wildly back in worth making a weird swooping sound.

It reminds me of the sound of the sea of nothing in the yellow submarine movie. Hollow and ominous like there is nothing there, but makes a sound anyway just to be heard. It also reminds me of The Beatles song "Northern Song" the way you can complain about what it sounds like but it will still sound the same and there's no changing that. Also sometimes there's nothing to complain about.

Lastly it sounds like a lonely harmonica player playing his lonely song while locked in jail. Just like he's waiting for someone to join his sad song so maybe he might not be so lonely. Then he finds his song can't reach anyone so he stops playing.
