Furthest: Phone ringing, receptionist talking at the front desk

Medium: Music coming from a small speaker that an employee had set up on top of their cubicle

Closest: Typing on the computer from the nice lady doing my taxes, the printer printing out my forms.

Sound Level & Activity: The sound level overall wasn’t quiet but I wouldn’t consider it to be at a medium volume either, more somewhere in between

Description: Overall the sound was generally normal, it wasn’t overstimulating as most public settings tend to be. I felt almost relaxed

Essential Sounds: Music from speaker, printer, typing from computer, phone ringing, talking from the other employees
