Author: 1. Thursday Feburary 16th at 4pm-Nail Salon at Roosevelt Field Mall
2. The sounds that are farthest away from me are the faint sounds of the escalators moving, people walking by the salon, and people chatting as the walk by the salon.
3. The sounds that are at medium range to me are the sounds of running water from a woman washing her hands and a nail dryer running.
4. The sounds that are closest to me are of the workers in the salon that are speaking to one another in a language that I do not understand and the woman sitting next to me is talking on the phone.
5. Since it is a small place, the sound is circulating around one enclosed area so it gets pretty loud. There are dyers running and people talking over the dryers, so the sounds are a bit ear-piercing at times.
6. “noisy”
7. Nail dryer, workers talking in a language that I do not understand, and the woman talking on the phone.

1. 2/9/12, 11:27 pm, Colonial Square
2. The sounds farthest away from me are the t.v. playing in the other room and my friends talking loudly. Through the wall in the next suite there is a girl yelling.
3. The sounds at a medium distance away are the jingling sound as someone takes off a belt, and their feet making sound on the tile floor. A chair is pulled out. Mouse clicks are heard.
4. Close to me I can hear the fan-like sound of the HVAC. I also notice how much I am sniffling.
5. The general sound level is somewhat quiet, the sounds are spread out. The sound activity is steady.
6. This environment can be described as “sporadic”.
7. Three sounds essential to the sound environment are my sniffling every so often, the random mouse clicks, and the t.v. going in the background. These sounds make up what can be considered a “dorm” environment, where there is a mix of productivity and procrastination.
1. Thursday 2/2, 7:00pm-7:30pm, Back of Student Center
2. Doors opening and closing, chairs moving, music playing in the cafe, talking
3. Bottles/food being placed on table, talking, laughter
4. Friends talking, phone vibrating
5. Sound level and amount of sound pretty high not concert high but high like any other eating location during diner hours. Don’t have to yell when talking to someone close next to you at the table but one has to talk loudly enough so they can hear you
6. Busy
7. talking/laughter, metal chairs moving across linoleum floor, and bottle being put down on the tables
1) 4/7/11-8:00 p.m.-Lobby of Alliance Hall
2) The laundry room door opening and closing, the hum of vending machines, and faint voices coming from outside were the furthest audible sounds.
3) The ding of the elevator, the elevator doors opening and closing, a person putting coins into a jar for Penny Wars, people talking in the RA office, and the sliding entrance doors opening and closing would qualify as medium range sounds.
4) My earrings jingling and my soft breathing would be considered sounds closest to me.
5) The sound level was fairly quiet. The sound activity was low because people do not hang out in the lobby area; people in the lobby are either quickly leaving the building or rushing to the elevator. The ding of the elevator was the most repetitive sound I heard.
6) Dull
7) Elevator dinging, entrance doors sliding open, and talking in the RA office.

2- Cars on Hempstead turnpike, someone yelling outside, ambulance going by
3- Music coming from another classroom.
4- Professor speaking, kid next to me snoring, my food tapping
5- Surprisingly loud considering I was in a classroom.
6- Busy

1) 3/24/11-8:00 p.m.-Standing in the middle of the unispan.
2) The sounds furthest away from me included cars driving under the unispan and a distant honk from a car horn.
3) The sounds in medium range from me included a bag on wheels rolling across the cement, talking, feet scraping the cement, coats rustling, plastic bag rustling, shoe heels clicking, hum of motorized wheelchair, heavy breathing from a jogging boy, coughing, ringing of a cell phone, and faint music coming from headphones.
4) My feet impatiently taping the floor and my mechanical pencil squeaking across paper would be considered sounds closest to me.
5) The sound level was medium, but there was a lot of noise activity because people kept passing by me as I stood in one place on the unispan. I considered the noises of passersby to be medium range from me because they were far away but then came close as they passed by me.
6) Hollow
7) The sound of the feet shuffling and scraping, talking, and the rush of the cars as they drive underneath the unispan.
