1. 5/1/2014, 6:55 PM, The Bean (1st and 9th) St. Marks

2. Identify the sounds farthest from you:  Furthest from me, I can hear the traffic and people outside of The Bean. The glass doors here are always left a little ajar, so I can hear delivery trucks speeding over the bumpy streets, and dog walkers ushering their “clients” across the shop. This area is extra busy today, probably because of the awesome weather.  

3. Identify the sounds at medium range: At medium range, I can hear the juicer blending and grinding a delicious juice for another customer. Also at medium range are the few conversations going on in the shop. Some people are conversing across a table, while others talk on the phone. I can hear the business going on at the register, as well.

4. Identify the sounds closest to you:  Closest to me, there is a lovely bulldog completely sprawled out on the floor next to me. He is enjoying the air conditioning and cool-down panting. His owner and the person in front of me in line are chatting about bulldogs. I have a different bag with me today, and this one has a brand chain attached to the strap of the bag. When I shift, the chains clink against each other.

5. General sound level and activity:  The general activity is pretty hoppin’ tonight! Between the excitement outside and the customers in the shop, there is a conversational roar. The kitchen behind the counter is adding to the casual commotion of the coffee shop.

6. One word to describe the sound environment:  Brewing

7. 3 essential sounds to the sound environment: 

-Traffic outside

-Customers chatting

-Juice blender

*Bulldog panting
