Date: February 10th, 2022

Location and time: 9:11am my room in the basement of my house, Hempstead NY

Far sounds: a bird chirping on the ground somewhere near my window

Medium sounds: someone walking in the second story of the house, a door closing in the second story, the front door slamming from someone leaving for class

Close sounds: foot steps above my head from someone walking in the kitchen, my housemate closing the bathroom door, the heater creaking in my room

Sound/description level: it’s the very typical sounds to wake up to on a weekday, the sounds I hear pretty much every morning, people moving around the house and each of them getting ready to leave and go to their first classes of the day, people are trying to be quiet because it’s the morning and they don’t want to disturb our other house mates but they’re also rushing to get ready and leave on time

One word: comforting 

Most important sounds: foot steps above my head, the front door closing, the creaking of the radiator in my room
