Posted on by

Date: 3/10/23

Location: the walk from the Student Center to VP

Far sounds: someone singing or playing music (faint), cars driving

Medium sounds: planes overhead, doors to the tower dorms opening

Close sounds: footsteps, jangling keys, stuff in bags rustling, clothes brushing, footsteps, breathing, friends talking

Sound description/level: It’s quiet, which make the quieter sounds like breathing and clothes brushing louder. The general feeling is calm. It’s also nighttime, so it’s dark out, which lends itself to the muted nature of the surrounding world.

One word: muted

Most important sounds: footsteps, jangling keys, friends talking

Hofstra Gym, second floor

Far sounds – hum of machines surrounding me, weights hitting floor downstairs, muffled conversations as people run by, feet hitting the track surrounding me

medium sounds – rhythmic hum of treadmills as people run, tv above me, music on radio in gym speakers, conversation behind me, pull of the paper towel machine

Close sounds – music pulsing in my headphones, water bottle clanking against the machine, the hit of my feet on the treadmill 

Sound level – full of random clashing background noise, but overall medially mellow. Not too rambunctious. 

one word – focused

Most important sounds —  rhythmic hum of treadmills as people run, pull of the paper towel machine,  weights hitting floor
