Identify the location:
Barnes and Noble cafe.

Identify the sounds:
You can hear a squeak as the book cart rolls in the distance,then you hear someone’s cellphone ring.  You can hear a click on the trackpad of a laptop, and people talking in the background.  You can also hear indistinct music playing in the background.  Then typing on a lap top, which eventually becomes more rapid and dominates the recording.  Then you hear the squeak of the book cart again, then the beep of a headset, and an employee responding over his headset.

-4/25/2013, 11:06PM, walking from Republic Hall into Dutch Treats

-My footsteps, the sound of me kicking a rock on my way, some people talking outside of Dutch Treats, the sound of the music as I enter Dutch Treats, a faint bit of ambient chatter as I walk through Dutch Treats, and the rustle of a bag of Skittles as I pick it up (It’s interesting to hear the difference between a lack of sound and the sound heard in a more active environment)

Identify the location of the clip – Design Studio

Identify the sounds heard in the clip – In this clip you can hear the initial sound of Rachel pulling out a lysol wipe from the yellow container. This is heard with a tap open of the lid and then short jerks and pulls of the wipe until it comes free from the container. From here one can hear the sound of her scrubbing down her desk and pulling up different pieces of gesso and paint from making her last color model. You can hear a swooshing noise as she cleans the desk and then a squeaking and more aggressive pattern as she works harder to get spots off of her desk.

Location: Madison Square Garden Arena — Tuesday, April 16th, 2013, 9:36 pm

 

Sounds Heard: My boyfriend and I went to see Muse at Madison Square Garden, and I was so surprised by the quality of the sound.  The acoustics in this huge arena are amazing, and the show’s audio was set up perfectly to feel so powerful and throbbing and impactful, but to not hurt your ears at all, even as close to the stage as we were.  I recorded a snippet from one of my favorite songs, “Hysteria” — I was also very impressed by how good the band sounds live, especially with Matt Bellamy’s fluid vocals.  Occasional elated screaming can also be heard throughout the song.
