In literature, the word "patter" evokes a rhythmic, light sound that often carries multiple layers of meaning. It is frequently used to describe the steady tapping of rain against surfaces—thereby setting a tranquil, almost musical background [1, 2]—or the quick, soft steps of characters moving through various spaces, adding a vivid sense of motion and immediacy to scenes [3, 4]. At times, "patter" also characterizes rapid-fire speech or casual banter, highlighting the lively, sometimes mischievous cadence of dialogue [5, 6]. Its repeated use, as seen in passages that mimic the natural or human heartbeat, contributes to building atmosphere and rhythm within the narrative [7, 8].
