  2. Farthest: The sound of utensils/food being cooked in the dining hall. Beeping of students getting rung up at the cash register
  3. Medium: Chatter in the dining hall during common hour. The creaking of the door opening and closing everytime someone walks in/out, the sound of chairs scraping on the floor.
  4. Closest: Kids lining up to go back to the daycare/school (?) that is here on campus.
  5. Sound Level/Activity: The sound level was pretty high, it was during common hour so it was pretty crowded, the kids were pretty rowdy despite them being on their way out the door, and all around it was pretty overstimulating.

  7. Essential Sounds: Beeping from the register, cooking in the kitchen area, talking from other students, chairs scraping on the floor
