Time: Sunday, February 27th, 3:08pm

Location: my desk inside my room, the basement of my house

Far Sounds: two voices talking upstairs, someone watching something on TV in the living room, a big truck driving past the house

Medium Sounds: the dryer running, someone in the shower down the hall

Close sounds: my essential oil diffuser running, “Gypsy” by Fleetwood Mac playing quietly from my bluetooth speaker

Sound Description/Level: very typical weekend afternoon sounds, the house is quiet because most people are catching up on work from the week, its very few noises happening and all at very low noise level, lazy and kind of sleepy sounding environment

One Word Description: calm

Most important sounds: the music from my speaker, the dryer

Sunday, February 27th, 2:36pm

Location: The breakfast nook at Jane Street

Far Sounds: A car speeding on the main road, The Dixie Chicks playing in Lizzy’s room, the wind making the branches creak, trash bags rustling in the wind 

Medium Sounds: The dryer going, a metal button scraping in the dryer, Tori and Arianna laughing and talking, a car with a loud muffler driving by my house, doors creaking open and close, the wind whistling up against the windows, someone listening to country in the upstairs bathroom

Close sounds: My phone playing “More Than This” by One Direction, the mesh screen hitting the window, Tori and Arianna pouring water in the kitchen, chair creaking underneath me, radiator blowing out hot air in the bathroom

 Sound Description/Level: Loud but quiet, the only constant sound is the dryer going. It is like I am trying to focus on all of these sounds at once but they all happen so quickly. Sometimes all the sounds can be heard at once, but sometimes it is only the dryer that is going

One Word Description: Sporadic

Most important sounds: The mesh screen hitting on the window, Tori and Arianna laughing, metal button scraping in the dryer, chair creaking

Location: The couch in my bedroom, facing the open door toward the living room

Farthest: An airplane flying overhead, a car driving by, Anna playing music in her room far down the hallway behind her closed door, Anna’s metal garland pattering against her door as it swings open

Medium: Andrew’s loud footsteps as he walks between his room and the kitchen across the wood floor in the hallway, Andrew rolling a suitcase across the kitchen tiles, the low hum of the refrigerator, Anna sneezing, Andrew saying bless you

Closest: Andrew’s door slowly creaking open, his metal sign hitting the door as it closes, my stomach grumbling

General sound level: There is a low but constant noise as the baseline in this environment, especially with the music playing; it feels like there is a chaos contained to the point where it feels calm from the outside

Sound environment: Contained

Defining sounds: Andrew’s footsteps across the hallway floor, the music playing behind Anna’s closed door, the suitcase rolling over the tiles
