  1. 2/11/18 3:00 pm at Q Zar (lazer tag arena)
  2. Far sounds- kids (screaming, yelling, crying, laughing), Arcade machines dinging, quarters falling, a four letter word not to be said in front of children.
  3. Medium sounds- conversation between my co-workers, awful dubstep, laser guns going off, the feet of children running who shouldn’t be running.
  4. Close sounds- cash register, my eardrum pounding from the noise, charging of laser guns, clatter of laser vests.
  5. The noise level in Q Zar is very loud. It is very difficult to get anywhere quiet but surprisingly easy to determine where the sound was coming from. Maybe that’s due to my familiarity with the location.
  6. Chaos.
  7. Laser guns, arcade machines, and the abundance of noise children make.

The Sounds of Constitution Hall, 6th Floor (Specifically from my room)

The slam of a distant door.

The wind passing through my open window.

The unnecessarily loud humming of my refrigerator.

The sound of my neighbor talking.

The sound of an idiot playing with the bell in the elevator.

The sound of a car revving it’s engine and driving away.
