It's hard to pinpoint the noise; as soon as he thinks it's obviously in front of him, he listens again and it seems to be behind. Either the thing is moving, or he's just second-guessing himself.

'...shit!'

There's a clatter as he backs staight into the water he'd brought out from the fire.

Hopefully rattlesnakes don't freak out at loud clattering noises?
