Location: Dutch Treats

Far sounds: water running in the kitchen in the back

Medium sounds: rustling of a bag, door opening and closing, beep of the scanner at the register, people walking around shopping

Close sounds: the TV playing loudly (ads, then Star Wars music), the cashiers having a conversation, a staff member answering a phone call, the refrigerated items shelf buzzing, the crinkle of the Uncrustable I’m about to buy

Sound description/level: it’s not a busy time for Dutch but there are a handful of other people so it’s a fairly consistent volume in here. Not loud; you can hear the TV from anywhere inside but it’s not overwhelming, and a few people are talking but when they move away I can’t hear them as clearly

One word: supermarket

Most important sounds: the TV, the cashiers’ conversation, the fridges buzzing
