Journal Entry #5 – Ferguson
Posted on by

1. Date: 2/26/20 – Time: 9:30pm – Location: Intramural Fields

2. Farthest away from me, I can hear the wind constantly blowing through the trees.  I can hear the engines of cars that are passing by from time to time as well.  Moreover, I can faintly hear people talking as they are walking past the fields.

3. In a medium range of sound, I can hear some of my teammates talking and laughing with each other.  Also, I can hear the frisbee either being caught or forcefully hitting the ground due to the wind, and the music as it is being played from a Bluetooth speaker.

4. The sounds closest to me include my footsteps when I am running up and down the field.  I can hear my teammates as they are calling out plays to me.  Furthermore, there are internal sounds present as I am constantly telling myself to keep my energy level up and to play at my best ability.

5. The general sound level is quite noisy due to the music from the speaker being a bit loud.  There is a good amount of sound activity going on as my teammates and I are constantly talking, yelling, and running around on the field.

6. One word to describe the “sound environment” is “vibrant”.

7. Three sounds that are essential to the “sound environment” are the music coming from the speaker, a slapping noise as the frisbee is being caught, and my teammates talking to one another with words of encouragement.

2/27/20

Farthest Sound- The wind howling out side my dorm, the window has a few small gaps and the wind is strong enough to force itself through. Making the window produce this wishing sound.  

Medium Distance- The people of Hague running around in the halls, and others laughing with friends downstairs in the lounge.

Closest Distance- My roommate crinkling plastic and boxing as she finishes a drama 5 project for the one and only Jim Heart. The sink runs as she washes off her paint brushes and palette. 

Sound Description- Busy and Simi noisy but not in a bad way.

Important Sounds- The wind, it really be gusty out there. My roommate crinkling plastic, and the sound of tape being ripped.

  1. 2/25/2020, 7:25pm, NAB 010 (Before band rehearsal)
  2. Voices in hallway, percussion instruments being rolled into room, & doors opening/closing.
  3. Instrument cases opening/closing, students voices, footsteps, & various instruments being played/warming up.
  4. Music stand squeaking, chairs shuffling, sheet music being shuffled, & my clarinet.
  5. The sound level is high because since the room is large and the acoustics are wide/open, the sound of instruments being warmed up plus students talking filled the space completely.  The amount of sound activity was also high because there were many varieties of instruments played on top of each other, which made it hard to focus on individual sounds.  
  6. Clamorous.
  7. Musical instruments being played, music stands squeaking, & shuffling of sheet music.
