- February 23rd- 7:17pm- My room in Alliance Hall
- Sounds farthest away are the shouts of residents in hallway and lobby outside of my door
- Sounds in medium range to me is the loud and overbearing noise of air escaping the vents in my laptop as it grows hot, almost like a chugging.
- Closest to me is the tapping of my hands hitting the keys as I furiously try to bang out an article the night before it is due.
- There seems to be a fair amount of sound activity coming from all directions of the space I am in.
- One word: Chaotic
- For the feeling of this environment you definitely need the residents to still be screaming and you need the labored chugging of the laptop, the tapping also represents the chaotic nature because it is so rushed, so really every sound identified up top really enforces the sound environment.

Sound Journal #2
Location: Lowe 106
Far sounds: Chatter in the hallway, typing on computer keys, the unscrewing on a metal water bottle,
Medium sounds: Thuds on the floor across the room, scraping of chair across hall from me, sparse clunking of piano keys, jingle of keys
Close sounds: voices of those rehersing in the room, loud thuds of booted footsteps near my chair,
Sound description/level: Wide variety of soft and loud/sounds. Some softer sounds I found to be more prominent and interesting than the loud, closer ones. There were so many different, varying sounds it was hard to take them all in. It reminded me of a busy street- no extrmely loud noises but the sheer amount of sounds made it feel louder and more intense.
One word for the environment: Barrage
Important sounds: Voices from those rehersing in the room, thud of boots on the ground, loud chatter from the hallway outside
