Sound Observation #5
Posted on by

3/1/2012, My Dorm Room, 11:13 pm

– Sit, close eyes and allow the sounds around you to envelope you, listen for all of the sound in your environment.

2-the boys in the courtyard yelling
3- my roommate flipping through her books while she works on her homework
4- my boyfriend’s fingers tapping away on a game on his iPhone
5-it is very calm and relaxing for a Thursday night
6- serene
7- the whir of the computer is essential to a peaceful night in my dorm room. the next important sound is my roommate doing her homework. and of course, what Thursday night would it be if boys weren’t shouting in the courtyard, muffled by the closed window.

1.  Thursday March 1st in the Health and Wellness Center waiting room at 1pm

2.  The sounds furthest away from me are people talking otuside the health and wellness center’s building and people talking in the hall of where all the patiences’ rooms are located.

3. The sounds that are at medium range to me are a woman typing on her computer, another woman is flipping through files, and two other people are whispering behind the reception desk.

4.  The sounds that are closest to me are a girl coughing in the waiting room, a guy is talking to a woman at the reception desk, and the girl to the other side of me is flipping through pages of her magazine.

5.  There is not much going on in the waiting room because of the fact that it is a doctors office.  The office is quiet for the most part, with little going on.

6. “mellow”

7.  The coughing in the waiting room, the guy talking to the woman at the receptionist’s desk, and the flipping pages of a magazine.  This really gives the room the feel of a doctor’s office and those sounds need to be there for the feeling of the environment.
