2. Identify the sounds farthest from you: Furthest from me, I can hear the activity outside of my window.  Surprisingly, I hear tons of sounds from the ground bellow my window.  Right now, I can hear a group of people walking from Hofstra USA/Dutch to somewhere past my building.  One of the boys is singing “Show Me” in a weird voice, and I can hear the sounds of keys either in someone’s hands or hanging from their lanyard/wallet.

3. Identify the sounds at medium range:  At medium range, I can hear someone’s music in the shower.  There is a sign between the two showers that says “Your music is probably too loud!”  I don’t really mind hearing someone else’s music in the bathroom, but I do wish she switched up the playlist a little.

4. Identify the sounds closest to you:  Closest to me, I can hear the playbills I have on my wall blowing in the draft from the window.  The wind coming through the window makes a little whistling sound.  I can also hear by bracelet scratching on my computer while I type, and the sound of my keys.

5. General sound level and activity:  The general sound activity is so normal that the singing boy really stands out quite comically.  My floor is always pretty silent, so the general sound activity is very sedate.

6. One word to describe the sound environment:  Unhurried

7. 3 essential sounds to the sound environment:
