1. Phoenix house Chinese restaurant 5/2/12 8:30 pm
2. The sounds farthest away from me are food sizzling in a pan and a person chopping food.
3. The sounds at a medium range are the cash register opening and people ordering food and talking about the menu.
4. The sounds closest to me are the children of the owners speaking Chinese and running around.
5. The general sound level is loud.
6. I would describe the sound environment as “energetic”.
7. Three sounds essential to the sound environment are the food cooking, people ordering food, and the people talking in Chinese. The restaurant is like its own little world.
