Sounds heard: bird chirping, wood pecker, wind enhanced from microphone

Strumming in the Wrong Place

Recorded in my room. What it sounds like when you strum on the headstock of a guitar.

Walking by the student center

Cars driving by, people talking while passing, shoes hitting the pavement, keys jangling

Farthest sound: traffic whooshing from the turnpike many blocks away, it sounds like wind. Horns honking occasionally.
Medium sound: Alex moving clothes around and packing a bag for a trip. He’s now starting to play Playstation.
Closest sound: Me typing. Breathing!
It is very quiet
Calm
“wind” and ambient traffic sounds, typing, lack of loud music that is normally present

2/22/17 @ 8:20AM, Boston Logan International Airport
Farthest-An espresso machine at work, workers talking in a kitchen, quiet chatter all around, a bag falling, music and announcements overhead, a buzz of planes passing by.
Medium-Someone zipping a bag, the crunch of plastic bags from people’s breakfasts, a man talking on the phone, someone flipping through a magazine, footsteps on the hard floored path (I can’t tell what it’s made out of), the beep of the ticket checking machine.
Close-Women talking in a quiet voice, the lady behind me flipping the pages of a book, the sound of me typing, the sound of air being pushed out of the cushion when a man sat down, coughing
The sound level is low, even though there is arguably a moderate amount of sound activity, most of it is low and for some reason does not echo well
Sound Environment-‘Subdued’
Most Essential-chatter all around, buzz of planes, music and announcements.

February 23rd, 9:34pm, my dorm room in Hague
