Date, Time, Location: 17th Feb. 9:45pm, outside of Alliance hall.
Far sounds: Cars on Oak street and the Turnpike, airplane flying overhead.
Middle-Range sounds: Students passing nearby – their voices and footsteps – one is eating chips and I can hear the crunch of the chips and the crumple of the bag.
Close or inner sounds: Within about a 5 foot radius of myself, nothing is making sound. I even try to listen for my own breathing or heartbeat, but it seams my body is very good at remaining motionless and quiet. Occasionally, I pick up the sound of some air passing through my nose.
General level of sound: It varies. When no students are passing by, everything is constant but subdued, somehow muted – when students do pass, their voices are very loud.
One-word description: Active
3 essential sounds: Cars, chips and chip bag, students’ voices.
