It´s not so easy to describe but the closest I could get would be to say it crunches underfoot. A dry, almost synthetic sound that is similar to that of standing on some sort of foamy plastic.

2. The sound you hear is known as slip-stick friction. Commonly heard in door hinges as a metal squeak.

In some desert countries, where the sand grains have been polished and largely rounded by wind action, there are singing sands. This may be due in part to slip-stick friction, causing a continuous sound because the number of sound sources (the slipping grains) is very great in number.

What has to take place in the condensation step of the water cycle for snow or hail to fall instead of rain?

In the condensation step that leads to snow or hail, the temperature needs to be very low, usually below freezing. This causes the water vapor to condense into ice crystals or supercooled water droplets. These frozen particles then grow and combine in the cloud until they are heavy enough to fall as snow or hail, instead of rain.

What effect does snow have on sound?

Snow does not make any sound. When you are outside on a snowy day, or when there is a lot of snow on the ground, what sounds are in the air seem to be dampened somewhat because the snow, being soft, tends to absorb the sound waves. But the actual snowflakes, being tiny and wet, do not impact anything or each other with enough force to set up sound-vibrations, thus creating any sound waves. And, without sound waves, there can be no sound. Have you ever heard the famous saying, if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, is sound created? Well, of course sound is created. It makes no difference if a sound is actually heard by someone for it to exist.
