Sound Observation #7
Posted on by

1) Friday March 9th, 2012 – 12:30p.m. – Bits & Bytes

2) Furthest away were dozens of high schoolers ordering food, clanking plastic trays, and confused Hofstra students chatting.

3)  At Medium range there was even more chatting and scanners reading barcodes, doors opening and closing.

4) Closest to me were a couple of my friends eating , opening soda bottles and talking about how easy it would be to steal food at this precise moment.

5) The sound level is obnoxiously loud.

6) Disarray.

7) Trays and food being moved around, dozens of conversations, each trying to over empower the last, and scanners beeping over and over again.
