2- Other students walking and talking on the way to and from their dorm through the main entrance of the hall.

3- People ordering food behind my table at the inner part of the cafe, Fries sizzling as they are deep fried at the Nathan’s there, two of the workers sitting behind the counter talking in Spanish while they have no customers, a commercial jingle comes from the TVs they have mounted in the center.
4- My friends are all talking at my table, some are chewing, others are slurping their drink, one crunches in to an apple.
5- The general sound level is pretty loud. Though the room itself is not too crowded, the room echos, making a moderate amount of sound seem much louder.
