2/23/24 – 11:33 pm – my friends dorm
Farthest Sound – the farthest sound from me is the cars racing down Oak Street, honking at other cars that are going “too slow”
Medium Sound – the sound that is in medium distance from my friend’s air purifier, a white noise background noise if you will
Closest Sound – the closest sound from me is my besties ranting about the newest tea in around campus and a song playing on my friend’s tiktok
The sound level – the sound level continues to vary like the shape of a wave due to the people around me getting really into what they are explaining
One word – drama
Essential sounds – talking, white noise, honking, cars driving quite fast

2/23/2024, 10:17 PM ET, Hempstead Turnpike/California Avenue

The sound furthest away from me is the rumble of cars much further down the road, just loud enough to be noticeable, getting louder as they come towards the red light.

A sound a bit closer to me is the incessant chirping of the birds that sit in the trees and on the powerlines en masse above California Avenue. It’s a fast, high-pitched trilling that verges on being scary.

The sound closest to me is that of a car passing by about 2 feet to my right. It’s a quiet car, not one with a loud engine, so most of the sound comes from the soft rumble of its tires on the ground and the woosh of the wind as it passes me.

The sound level isn’t extremely loud, there not being many cars at this very moment while the cars going straight on the highway have the red light.

The word I would use to describe the sound environment is puttering.

Three sounds essential to the sound environment are the sound of a car braking, the high-pitched screech of a bird, and wind wooshing.

February 23rd, 8:55 pm, Roti on the Run (Trini restaurant)

The closest sound to me is the woman making the food (the sound of the metal spoon hitting the metal tray) and the sounds of people talking.

The furthest sounds are the cars outside and the train passing overhead.

The medium sounds are the soca music and the fans in the place.

The level of sounds is high consistently with overlapping sounds throughout.

One Word: Home. Three sounds important to the environment is the clanking of Metal, the sounds of people talking, and Soca Music.
