1. Date: 2/12/20 – Time: 11:30pm – Location: Dutch Treats
2. The sounds that I can hear furthest away from me are the doors consistently being open and closed, students chatting with one another as they are walking in, and the sound made from the scanner being put to work at the register.
3. The sounds that I can hear in a medium range are the beeping noises coming from the microwave and the sounds being made on the television. Also, I can hear the students near me laughing, and the chef calling out finished orders. I am able to hear the footsteps of the students around me as well.
4. The sounds closest to me include myself and my teammate talking and grunting at the fact that the chef keeps skipping our order sheets. Internal sounds involve me asking myself if waiting a long time for the food is worth it. Both the sound of footsteps and the door opening are now made as my teammate and I walk out of the store.
5. The general sound level is quite noisy, due to a good amount of students being present in Dutch Treats. There is a lot of sound activity taking place, since most of the students are either talking or laughing with other students.
6. One word to describe the “sound environment” is “rowdy”.
