Journal Entry #3

1.  Thursday Feburary 16th at 4pm-Nail Salon at Roosevelt Field Mall

2. The sounds that are farthest away from me are the faint sounds of the escalators moving, people walking by the salon, and people chatting as the walk by the salon.

3.  The sounds that are at medium range to me are the sounds of running water from a woman washing her hands and a nail dryer running.

4.  The sounds that are closest to me are of the workers in the salon that are speaking to one another in a language that I do not understand and the woman sitting next to me is talking on the phone.

5.  Since it is a small place, the sound is circulating around one enclosed area so it gets pretty loud.  There are dyers running and people talking over the dryers, so the sounds are a bit ear-piercing at times.

6.  “noisy”

7.  Nail dryer, workers talking in a language that I do not understand, and the woman talking on the phone.   

 

Sound Observation #3

Once a week
Perform the following for a “sound environment”.
List each appropriate item separately and in order:

1- 2/16/2012. Lieden Lounge. 9:58 pm

2- Guys are dragging their feet along the tile floor in their slippers attempting to do laundry before the break

3- Girls are gossiping and chatting before they head out to the bar
4- The buzz of the headphones with my mom silent on Skype
5- The girls chatting is very loud and high-pitched
6- Exuberant
7- On a normal Thursday night, people gossiping about going to the bar and talking about how wasted they are going to get is an exuberant part of the Lieden house. Another important sound heard in the Lieden house is the sound of feet shuffling because most of the people in this house have either just woken up or are hungover. The third important feature of the sound in Lieden is the doors opening and closing

1.  Wednesday February 15th at 4pm in the News Hub at WRHU – Hofstra’s Radio Station

2.  The sounds farthest away from me are people chatting in the hall-since the door to the news hub is open and I can hear a door opening and closing outside the room

3.  The sounds that are at medium range are people typing on the computers and people chatting inside the news hub about what stories they are writing today

4.  The sound that is closest to me is the radio.  88.7 WRHU is playing in the news hub on the television that is right above the seat I am sitting in.

5.  There is a lot of commotion going on in the news hub. Since the radio is on and there are many different conversations going on in the news hub, people have the tendency to talk louder and above everyone else.  So the noise level is relatively high. 

6. “Rambunctious”

7.  Radio, chattering in the background, and the sound of people typing on the computers.
