Farthest Sound- The shower from the master bedroom going off a few rooms over, and the dishes being washed in the kitchen.

Medium Distance- The washer and dryer going off and one of my roommates folding them and putting them away.

Closest Distance- My music playing as I work on my homework and the typing on my computer, the wind is also blowing quite against my window making a whistling sound. 

Sound Description- Hectic and busy

Important Sounds- The shower, the washer and dryer, my music, and the dishes.
