crackles
Fire's sharp sounds
Crackles is a noun for the sound itself—the series of small, sharp popping noises made by fire, static, or dry leaves underfoot: The crackles from the fireplace filled the room.
In medicine, crackles are abnormal lung sounds heard through a stethoscope, indicating fluid or inflammation.
As a verb form, crackles describes what makes such sounds: The radio crackles with interference.
