1) 2/17/11-3:00 p.m.-Honors College Lounge on the 2nd Floor of the Axinn Library
2) Secretary typing and clicking her computer mouse, sigh from person walking by the lounge, printer printing paper, indistinguishable talking in a personal office, and hum from the ventilation were the furthest audible sounds from my position.
3) The sound of people unwrapping candy and chewing, a newspaper rustling, talking, water pouring into glass from a blue water cooler, and shoes clicking would qualify as medium range sounds.
4) My pen clicking, seltzer water fizzing, and my own breathing would be considered sounds closest to me.
5) The sound level was fairly quiet, but the sound activity was high. The sounds I heard were not very loud, but sounds were coming from all over the lounge from many different sources.

Date, Time, Location: 17th Feb. 9:45pm, outside of Alliance hall.
Far sounds: Cars on Oak street and the Turnpike, airplane flying overhead.
Middle-Range sounds: Students passing nearby – their voices and footsteps – one is eating chips and I can hear the crunch of the chips and the crumple of the bag.
Close or inner sounds: Within about a 5 foot radius of myself, nothing is making sound. I even try to listen for my own breathing or heartbeat, but it seams my body is very good at remaining motionless and quiet. Occasionally, I pick up the sound of some air passing through my nose.
General level of sound: It varies. When no students are passing by, everything is constant but subdued, somehow muted – when students do pass, their voices are very loud.
