Journal Entry 10
Posted on by

1) 4/7/11-8:00 p.m.-Lobby of Alliance Hall

2) The laundry room door opening and closing, the hum of vending machines, and faint voices coming from outside were the furthest audible sounds.

3) The ding of the elevator, the elevator doors opening and closing, a person putting coins into a jar for Penny Wars, people talking in the RA office, and the sliding entrance doors opening and closing would qualify as medium range sounds.

4) My earrings jingling and my soft breathing would be considered sounds closest to me.

5) The sound level was fairly quiet. The sound activity was low because people do not hang out in the lobby area; people in the lobby are either quickly leaving the building or rushing to the elevator.  The ding of the elevator was the most repetitive sound I heard.

6) Dull

7) Elevator dinging, entrance doors sliding open, and talking in the RA office.
