Journal Entry # 10

 

1- 04/12/2013-12:40-Hampton Inn (with my parents who are in town to see Five Women)

2- Sounds farthest away from you: Hum of the fan from the bathroom, the refrigerator, and the lights. The hums are all different pitches but create one solid hum, though made up of the different parts.
3- Sounds at medium range: The sound of the television, specifically Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show, and my father typing.
4- Sounds closest to you:  My typing on the computer, sounds higher pitched and “sprightlier” than my father’s typing. The keyboards could have an effect on this, mine being a Mac and his being a PC, but my typing is also faster and softer while his is slower and heavier, regardless of the keyboard.
5- General sound level and amount of sound activity: Sound level is low as is the amount of sound activity. This reminds me of what it would be like at my own home, where we watch TV and work on our computers in peace, without much distraction. This especially reminds me of home because I never have time to watch TV when I’m on my own.
6- One word description to the “sound environment”: Cozy.
7-  3 sounds essential to the sound environment: The sound of the television, my father’s typing and my typing. Sounds comforting and calm.
