As-Salaam alaikum,
In ayat/verse 31 of chapter 24 of the Holy Qur'an, Surat Noor, Allah Ta'ala says:--

"AND LET THEM NOT STAMP THEIR FEET SO AS TO REVEAL WHAT THEY
HIDE OF THEIR ADORNMENT (anklets)" (24:31)

In the
ayat prior to this ayat or verse, Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has ordered the concealing of the organs of beauty: the face, hair, breasts etc. In this verse,as a further precautionary measure, women have been prevented from even striking their feet on the ground, lest the sound of their jingling anklets or shoes arouse undue attention towards them.
It is on these grounds that many jurists declared the female voice as ab object of purdah (concealment). Similarly, applying itr (scents) and donning of attractive clothes (outer) is also forbidden, when leaving the home.
