It's hard to say for sure. It could just be an incidental part of the background, or it could be Peridot just emerging from the field. It wouldn't be the first time something small and uncertain was included to foreshadow something coming later or just to get the fans debating. Like at the start of Jail Break, we hear someone screaming but we never explicitly find out who it was and there was quite a bit of debate and arguments about that small detail. I have a good ear and to me it sounds like Ruby, and it would make sense that she was throwing herself into the Gem Destabilizing field, or otherwise trying to force her way past it. This is what she was recovering from when Steven finds her and explains why she is puzzled and says "That's okay?" when Steven puts his hand through the field with minimal ill effect (Ruby had been using brute force to try and get out, she's desperate to reunite with Sapphire, but never thought to slowly put her hand through, so when she sees Steven do it she wonders if the field allows slow calm movement through) and tried it herself but gets zapped.
