- My dorm room, Hofstra University, 8:50pm on February 9th, 2017
- My roommates chatting in the next room, the faint sound of “Magic Mike” from their TV
- The hum of my refrigerator, my roommate snoring in the bed on the other side of the room, the ding of my cellphone
- The sounds of chewing, the taps of the keys of my keyboard, my breathing
- The general sound level is faint
- Comforting
- The TV, my keyboard, and my roommates chatter
