4/5/2018, Bits and Bites, 10:14 AM
Farthest: Metal objects are clanking together in the kitchen (this could be a bot on a stove or a spatula on the stove), the doors farthest from me open and footsteps of women in heeled boots follow this sound.
Medium: The vibrating sound of the toaster and the refrigerators, the cashier checks someone out and explains that they can only take cash today, and the metal chair legs scrape on the tile floor as someone sits down.
Closest: The crinkling of one of the plastic pastry bags is coming from my right side, someone else laughs in the booth behind me, and a garbage cart is being rolled across the floor creating a small rumbling sound.
The general sound level is at a medium, although there are many different sounds happening at once they are all relatively quiet.
Breakfast
The spatula and pots clanking against the stove, the vibrating of the toasters and refrigerators, and the crinkling of the pastry bag.

Farthest: Footsteps of people walking on the wet concrete and occasionally stepping in a puddle. Cars driving down the turnpike behind the Library. The doors to the psychology door being opened and people talking as they come out.
Medium: People coming in and out of the side door of the library and construction workers raking the gravel they are filling potholes with gravel.
Closest: The occasional chirp of a bird in the bushes behind me, squirrels climbing up the tree, and people talking as they walk by.
