  1. 2/11/18 3:00 pm at Q Zar (lazer tag arena)
  2. Far sounds- kids (screaming, yelling, crying, laughing), Arcade machines dinging, quarters falling, a four letter word not to be said in front of children.
  3. Medium sounds- conversation between my co-workers, awful dubstep, laser guns going off, the feet of children running who shouldn’t be running.
  4. Close sounds- cash register, my eardrum pounding from the noise, charging of laser guns, clatter of laser vests.
  5. The noise level in Q Zar is very loud. It is very difficult to get anywhere quiet but surprisingly easy to determine where the sound was coming from. Maybe that’s due to my familiarity with the location.
  6. Chaos.
  7. Laser guns, arcade machines, and the abundance of noise children make.
