Sounds farthest away from me: People conversing as they go in and out of Dutch and HofUSA, indistinct voices and trills carried out in the night sky, just before the cars pull up. They’re revving just outside HofUSA, their engines sounding like a wild pack of beasts as they drive by, some even popping like fireworks
Sounds at a medium range from me: Occasionally, I will hear someone going up and down the stairs, as they open and close the squeaky banshee that is the stairs door. Every now and then, an RA will patrol the floor. Even at one point, someone attempted to fill up their water bottle, as the old ceramic water fountain hisses at them for even trying.
Sounds closest to me: The room above me will drop a pencil, open and close their dresser, or simply just fiddle around and scoot in their chair. As I am in my room, with the repeated white noise that is my dehumidifier, accompanied by the sound of my keys and mouse clicking as I type this.
The general sound level and amount of sound activity: An adequate amount of sound, nothing too extreme, but there is a large quantity of different sounds occurring.
One word description to the “sound environment”: The culmination of all the noise would be best described as content, for every noise is serving a purpose for one reason or another.
Three sounds which are essential to the sound environment: The thunder from the engines, the squeaking stairs door, and the constant dry wheeze that is my dehumidifier.
