A footstep is the sound made by a person's foot hitting the ground when they walk. It is often used in contexts where the sound of someone's steps is significant, such as in crowded places or when detecting someone's approach. Footsteps can vary in volume and tone depending on the surface being walked on and the footwear involved.
