Location: table on the quad outside Roosevelt Hall
Far Sounds: laughing, door opening and shutting across the quad, mourning dove cooing, cars driving by on nearby streets.
Medium Sounds: more mourning doves responding, outdoor AC units/fans, two birds fighting (wings flapping, chirping), loud car honk.
Close Sounds: two people walking by (footsteps, talking), chewing, leaves rustling, squirrels climbing the tree overhead.
Sound Description/Level: the AC units gave the sound on the quad a mechanical quality that would otherwise be absent in that setting. The bird calls were plentiful and coming from all directions, which gave it an almost fantastical feeling.
One Word: ethereal
Most Important Sounds: mourning doves cooing, birds fighting, rustling leaves
