- Medium-Someone zipping a bag, the crunch of plastic bags from people’s breakfasts, a man talking on the phone, someone flipping through a magazine, footsteps on the hard floored path (I can’t tell what it’s made out of), the beep of the ticket checking machine.
- Close-Women talking in a quiet voice, the lady behind me flipping the pages of a book, the sound of me typing, the sound of air being pushed out of the cushion when a man sat down, coughing
- The sound level is low, even though there is arguably a moderate amount of sound activity, most of it is low and for some reason does not echo well
- Sound Environment-‘Subdued’
- Most Essential-chatter all around, buzz of planes, music and announcements.
