Walking from Subway to my building
Swipe cards, doors sliding open, trunstile unlocking, voices
I thought it would be interesting to listen to the sound environment on a simple walk from subway back to my room.

I thought it would be interesting to listen to the sound environment on a simple walk from subway back to my room.
It was January 31st and very windy. This is how loud and whistle-y the wind was outside my dorm window.
So the sound is wind
The location is my dorm room
Identify the location:
This was on 1/31 around 3:30pm on the train from Mineola to NY.
Identify the sounds: Two girls having a conversation about hair. There is a man talking on the phone. There is another man speaking aloud to his phone (he was deaf).
Location: Back of Student Center, during a “Coffee House” style performance series — February 7, 2012, 8:29 pm
Sounds Heard: Aaron playing the acoustic guitar and singing (both amplified), the chatter of students in the dining hall, applause, whooping, and his friend Arianna screaming “Okay, Aaron, I see you!” (to which he replies, “I also see you”), and laughter.
Location: At the house of the child I nanny
Sounds Heard: Child babbling, toy pirate ship song, the clanking together of several plastic toys
Location: On 4:33PM train from Mineola to Penn Station
Sounds heard: The “ding-dong”s preceding an announcement by the conductor. The announcement by the conductor. The slamming of a train car’s door. The slight hum of the train on the train tracks. Barely audible conversations between people in the background.
Location: Writer’s club, back room of Bits & Bytes
Sounds Heard: Catherine Karpoich reading an original poem, laughter, finger snaps
Identify the location: This recording was made in the lobby of the core at about 8 P.M. A couple pairs of girls were walking by.
Identify the sounds: A girl saying loudly “Pop the molly, I’m sweating” , another girl right after making slight beat noises, and group of girls talking and laughing.
Identify the location of the clip – I recorded this clip in the lobby of the Spiegel just before the beginning of pie night. There was a large group standing around waiting to be let in and someone bumped the lights and made creepy noises.
Identify the sounds heard in the clip – In this clip one can hear the large amount of activity and anticipation that comes in the minutes before a Cabaret night begins in the Spiegel. It begins with a smattering of conversations and yelling across the room and then one can hear the moment in which the lights go out and one student begins to make a rather odd, non humanlike noise that cuts through the room and causes a few people to scream. As people begin to figure out what is going they begin to laugh. Encouraged by laughter, the boy continues to make extreme noises and show everyone this “astonishing” talent he possesses.
