1) February 9th, 2012 – 3:45p.m. – Unispan

2) The sounds furthest away from me were the cars driving underneath me, people chatting from a distance and echoing voices from the student center.

3) The sounds at a medium distance from me were even more people chatting and a student on his bike approaching.

4) The sounds closest to me were my footsteps and those from people near me, even closer chatting, My friend’s squeaking backpack, and the wind hitting the glass next to us.

5) The sound level was incredibly loud, and never ending. This is because it was passing periods and the unispan is a narrow concrete structure which is enclosed and traps all sound.

6) One word to describe this sound would be “bustling”.

7) Three sounds essential to the sound environment are, student’s voices, and footsteps, and the cars underneath us.

1-2/9/12, 11:00 pm, Rachel’s room

2- The air conditioner running, the people in the downstairs lounge talking, very distantly.

3-  Rachel’s pencil moving across her paper, Shannon typing on her laptop.

4- My fingers gliding across the keyboard, the TV playing “That’s 70’s Show”

5- The sound level is not loud at all.

6- Relaxing

7- The TV, the laptop keys, and the pencil moving across the paper are all essential sounds to the environment at this time. It creates a very studious feel.

1. 2/9/12, 11:27 pm, Colonial Square

2. The sounds farthest away from me are the t.v. playing in the other room and my friends talking loudly. Through the wall in the next suite there is a girl yelling.

3. The sounds at a medium distance away are the jingling sound as someone takes off a belt, and their feet making sound on the tile floor. A chair is pulled out. Mouse clicks are heard.

4. Close to me I can hear the fan-like sound of the HVAC. I also notice how much I am sniffling.

5. The general sound level is somewhat quiet, the sounds are spread out. The sound activity is steady.

6. This environment can be described as “sporadic”.

7. Three sounds essential to the sound environment are my sniffling every so often, the random mouse clicks, and the t.v. going in the background.  These sounds make up what can be considered a “dorm” environment, where there is a mix of productivity and procrastination.
