A response in starting over with a new daily avoidance (or non-avoidance, as the case may be), here with the Ragtag Daily Prompt (https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2019/01/08/rdp-tuesday-crepitus/), today is Crepitus.

I would say the crackling of a fire could be said to sound crepitus-like, but being a gas fire, this one does not fit the bill.  Not that these guys care!
