Date: February 7

Location: My Room, in the Basement

 

Far Sounds: Muffled voices in conversation upstairs, laughter overhead, a sink being turned on and water rushing, faint music from the record player in the next room.

Medium Sounds: Footsteps creaking overhead, metallic ticking in the walls, a chair being scraped across the floor, someone sitting down on the couch next door.

Close Sounds: High pitched hum from the fridge in the corner, breathing in and out, a chair creaking.

Sound Description/Level: There is never too much noise at once. The ever-present drone of the fridge is the only consistent sound, all others come and go with varying (but always muted to some degree) intensity. It’s almost as if experiencing the world from inside a bubble.

One Word: Diminished

Most Important Sounds: Creaking footsteps overhead, muffled voices/laughter, faint music.

Location: LHCOMM Equipment Room

Far Sounds: People walking past, equipment cases rolling in the hall

Medium Sounds: People talking at the window, music playing from a computer, email notification

Close Sounds: Person next to me drinking soda, typing from computer, sliding backpack on table

Sound Description/Level: If this sound were a hypothetical “scene” in a play or movie, it is more casual underlying chatter rather than something too powerful and loud. It’s easy to tune in and out without getting lost in the conversation.

One Word: chill ?

Most Important Sounds: People talking at the window, computer playing music
