Sound Journal #6~~~~Kaitlyn Bancroft

  1. April 28th- 4:44pm-The LIRR Heading into New York City 
  2. Sounds farthest from me are that of the door opening and the wind bustling in from the outside only to slam shut and click into place very quickly. Another faraway sound is the punching of tickets as the conductor makes their way through the aisles. 
  3. The medium sounds that are at a medium distance away in volume and not necessarily physical distance are the screeching of the rails as the train breaks when approaching a station, as well as just the general thudding sounds the train makes as it travels across the tracks. 
  4. Closest sounds are the announcements that come on when reach every new station, and the snoring of the person across from me. 
  5. It feels like normally when someone rides a train they are preoccupied with whatever activities they are doing or whatever conversations they are having they might not notice the level of sound activity going on. However, there is actually quite a lot of sound that takes place- from a lot of different directions and sources. 
  6. One word: routine. This is a sound environment a lot of people experience as their normal routine whether its for recreational travel or a workday 
  7. The clicking of the ticket puncher definitely needs to be maintained, as well as the screeching of the breaks on the steel tracks. Another sound would be the announcements that air pretty much for the entire ride. These all work together to ensure the authentic sound environment of the LIRR.
