The farthest sound from me is the dull sound of cars speeding by on the road close to my dorm. It’s a dull roaring sound that starts just loud enough to be noticeable and fades quickly as they get further away.
A bit closer to me is the loud rumble of my air conditioning system that turned on a few seconds before I started typing. It’s the loudest thing in my room, incessant and powerful.
The closest sound to me is the Sims idling music, a happy little tune playing from my computer while it waits for me to return my attention to it.
The sound level, in general, is a relative quiet, only broken by the air conditioner when she decides my room is not yet cold enough. As I type currently, the sound of my dorm is peaceful and relaxed.
The word I would use to describe it would be calm.
Important sounds: the hum of my computer as she works oh so hard, the dull, heavy rattling of a truck passing by, and the click the air conditioner makes to signal she’s turning on.
Date: 2/9 6:51, my upstairs living room
Farthest away from me: My downstairs housemates talking in their kitchen
Medium range: My refrigerator humming in the kitchen and my upstairs housemate’s desk chair creaking a few times per minute
Closest to me: My keyboard clacking as I type and my occasional sniffling. My other housemate typing on her phone and clearing her throat
The sound level is very quiet. My other 2 housemates are out of the house and everyone is sort of decompressing from the day on their own in different parts of the house.
One word: Mundane
3 essential sounds: Chatter of the downstairs housemates, the fridge, and my housemate’s nails as she types her phone.
