Mooji and the Sound of Wood Chopping

Mooji speaks.

He speaks. As he speaks there is a repeated chopping sound in the background. We can't see what it is, but it sounds like the chopping of wood, so we will call it the sound of wood chopping.

THWACK, THWACK, THWACK, ...

Annoying, isn't it? Irritating, intruding into the conversation, distracting our attention. Why doesn't Mooji say - "someone stop that noise - whatever it is can wait!!"? After all it is Mooji, HE is Mooji.

He continues his message, the sound goes on.
