The laundry machines around the corner
Colin Creegan and Sarah Mori talking about sports ( A topic I don’t understand)
A freshman playing harmonica (Your typical collage instrument to get all of the ladies, So I’m told)
Adam Patrick Seeman being impressed.
Somebody meowing (?)
People clapping for the freshman’s harmonica playing abilities
A typical night in Liberty Hall.
1. 3/7/12 12:30 am My suite on campus
2. The sounds farthest away from me are people banging on the floor above me/my ceiling and talking.
3. The sounds at a medium range from me are my suitemates laughing in their bedroom and the t.v. that is on.
4. The sounds closest to me are my HVAC running heat and my clock ticking on the wall. I can also hear my breathing.
5. The general sound level is somewhat low and the activity is moderate, but there is a mix between sporadic and steady sounds.
6. I would describe this sound environment as “distracting”.
7. Three sounds essential to this sound environment are my suitemates laughing, the people above me making banging sounds, and my clock ticking. These are the usual sounds I hear from my room when trying to go to bed.
3/7/12 Hofstra Special Collections Dept.
Sounds heard: In the beginning a girl is rustling papers. Then you hear me take a cart through one door and then through another. Then it is pushed down a tile floor hallway and you can hear the rattling of the wheels and the cart. There is a high squeak which is my shoe sole getting caught on the floor. Another door is opened with a loud beeping noise, and the cart is pushed down another area and into an aisle of books.
