The Sounds of Constitution Hall, 6th Floor (Specifically from my room)

The slam of a distant door.

The wind passing through my open window.

The unnecessarily loud humming of my refrigerator.

The sound of my neighbor talking.

The sound of an idiot playing with the bell in the elevator.

The sound of a car revving it’s engine and driving away.

Far- Conversation, laughter, cash register, fryers, burgers being flipped.

Medium- Pencils on paper, fingers on keyboards, banging of fists on a table, “OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW” (someone must have tripped next to me), chairs moving along the floor.

Close- my water bottle crinkling, my my foot tapping the floor, my stomach digesting my cheeseburger.

One word- busy

3 essential sounds- fryers, conversation, chairs scraping the floor.(false hope)
