crinkle
Foil wrapper noise
Crinkle describes the formation of small creases, wrinkles, or wavy folds.
Paper crinkles when crushed; skin crinkles around the eyes when smiling.
The word works as both verb and noun: She crinkled the wrapper and the crinkles in the foil.
Crinkle suggests lighter, finer texture than wrinkle—more delicate folds, often with a rustling sound.
