One word description: Welcoming
Three sounds that are most important to the environment: TV, housemate talking, wind.
Location: Bits & Bytes
Sounds Heard: People talking at other tables, beeping of items being scanned at the register, me putting my metal water bottle down, people walking/shuffling around the space, laughing
Friday Morning – 8:00 AM – My Bedroom
Sounds Furthest from me – The wind blowing, cars outside driving by
Sounds medium from me – birds chirping outside loudly, talking outside from next door neighbors in the backyard
Sounds closest to me- my roommate opening their door next to mine and it slamming shut
Overall it is really peaceful and quiet and there is not much sound besides the temporary shutting of the doors and talking. The birds chirping feel like a light soundscape.
“Comforting”
The 3 essential sounds are the birds chirping because they make the environment fuller, the talking of my neighbors, and the doors shutting.
