2/2/11, 1:30 PM, Table furthest left outside of Bits and Bites

The furthest sound from me in the sound environment was groups of people in conversation projected from across the otherside of the quad.
A sound middistance from my position in the sound environment is the click of the door opening and shutting as people bus in and out of bits.

The sound closest to me are the mildly frequent footsteps of passersby that come by my table.

The environment can be described as a mild bustle. The amount of sound activity is far from overwhelming but it is certainly present and consitient whether it be a conversation or multiple conversations, or just the sounds of people in transit- footsteps, rustled jackets, or the opening and closing of doors. At this time in this sound environment there was never a moment of absolute silence though the sound level was never hectic and the enviornment as a whole was quite peaceful.

Hurried

Rustling of jackets, Footsteps, Passing conversation
