=== Whooshing/"Clicking" Sound As patrons jump on the bouncy castle the air pressure inside the structure increases

In addition, some (all?) blower designs have vanes/flaps on the outlet pipe that act as a one-way check valve. As air tries to feed back into the blower, these flaps snap shut, producing an audible "click" sound.
