4/28/24 – 1:54 PM- New Paltz UCAT UPL BUS.

1. Furthest sound- Sounds of cars whooshing by the window, running water from a lake.

2. Medium Sound- The sound of the engine of the bus roaring.

3. Closest Sound- “Closest sound? My ass talking your ear off” Meagan R., Meagan R. talking about the wicked movie, and the couple in front of us talking.

4. Sound Level and Activity- Loud! Meagan is Puerto Rican. Also loud when the bus is zooming down the road, but low when it stops! (and I don’t mean the bus)

5. Descriptor- Perfect.

6. Essential sounds: The most lovely voice in the world, bus, soft murmurs.

2- Furthest: The sounds from the workers cooking, the slight hum of the building, the fan blowing
3- Medium: People chatting at the table next to me, the workers having a conversation at the cash register, a phone ringing across the room.
4- Closest: My friend telling me a story, my bracelets jangling as I type, keyboards clacking, brief clips of people’s conversations as they walk by.
5- Sound level and activity: low, it’s still early and there’s not many people inside, the calm before the storm of common hour
6- Usual
