Location: On my bed in my dorm room

Far Sounds: Birds flying outside of the building, the wind rustling the tree, the ding of the elevator arriving on my floor, the sound of other residents going in and out of the bathroom, cars blasting music as they drive past, the squeaking of other doors being opened and closed

Medium Sounds: My heater making a continuous low humming sound, the clock on my desk ticking, the electrical hum of my fridge

Close Sounds: My fingers typing the keys on my keyboard, my phone ringing as a sign of a new notification, my breathing, my hair brushing up against the wall behind me as I sit up straighter

Sound Description/Level: Quiet. It’s a mundane environment where you have to listen closely to notice the low noise that usually fades into the background.

Important Sounds: The continuous humming of the heater, my fingers typing on my keyboard, my breathing

LOCATION: My boyfriend’s kitchen 

FARTHEST SOUNDS: Cars driving up and down the street, wind whistling, sound of the shower dripping in the bathroom down the hall, the neighbors outside leaving their house and getting into their vehicle. 

MEDIUM SOUNDS: The gurgle of a bong being ripped in the far corner of the room, the hum of the refrigerator. 

CLOSEST SOUNDS: My fingers typing on the keyboard, the low hum of my laptop, Harrison typing on his computer, Ray and Cam chatting and laughing about Tik Tok, the ice rattling in my iced tea glass when I go for a sip. 

SOUND DESCRIPTION/LEVEL: Loud, but not overpowering. It’s a casual environment with friends who have commanding laughs. 

IMPORTANT SOUNDS: The vibrato in Ray’s voice when he tells Cam “Noooooooooo” to some silly joke he made. Harrison quietly giggling as he is not fully present in the conversation, but catching the tail end of the joke. The sound of Ray’s socks shuffling across the floor as he casually dances around the kitchen telling us about how we got to file our taxes. The sound of the heater turning on – THANK GOD! 

Top 3 Sounds: Laughter, typing, bong rip
