  2. Far away: People talking in a classroom, a small beep, the sound of an air conditioner
  3. Medium: Footsteps (some going further and some coming closer), the entrance door slamming, a classroom door being shut
  4. Closest: The sound of me breathing due to congestion, someone taking a sip of their drink, typing, someone chewing
  5. The sound level started out quite loud, but it has now gone down to barely any sounds that aren’t the ones mentioned in #4. This is the same regarding the sound activity. Originally, it began with hearing #2 and #3 together, and those sounds faded away, which led me to hear #4. Therefore, the sound activity went from high to low.
  6. Descriptor: Bustling
  7. The essential sounds are: the faraway sound of people talking in a classroom, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of the entry door slamming.

Close Sounds: Person next to me drinking soda, typing from computer, sliding backpack on table
