Sound Journal #1 (Ezra)
- 2015-01-29, 3:28 pm, RSR booth in Netherlands South
- farthest: Group of girls sitting on the couches and talking. “Are we gonna study or party? Study!” The sliding door between me and them cuts their conversation between crystal clear and incoherently muffled. Other groups talking as they leave and enter the Netherlands Core. Very faintly, the sliding of the door to outside. Cars honking.
- medium: Sliding front door, IDs swiping through the reader & the following beep, turnstile unlocking and turning, sliding back door. Sliding back door, swinging push door behind me, swinging push door to my left, sliding front door. Residents talking throughout, their conversations circling around me.
- close: High-pitched wine of the security footage on a tube TV (the volume depends on which way I turn my head). Hum of heating system. Different, subtle hum of electronics—not a whine, definitely a hum. Typing as I write this. My breathing is silent.
- sound level: varying. Almost shockingly loud as residents come through. Almost silent and very lulling when there’s no one around.
- one word: erratic.
- three sounds: sliding doors, ID swipe & following beep, and audible/discernible conversation.

Farthest away: Cars in the parking lot, a motorcycle on the turnpike, a flagpole rope whipping against a flagpole
Medium distance: my roommate eating chips as loud as humanly possible, my radiator making an alarming kind of ticking noise, people talking in the common room below me, wind howling outside my window
Closest: my fingers typing on my computer, my sighs of frustration at my roommate eating chips as loud as humanly possible, my phone vibrating
The sound level has been the same for a while. No one’s really talking and i’m just trying to focus on the ambient noises from outside, instead of my roommate eating chips
one word: frustration
three sounds: crunching, typing, cars driving

Farthest: Cars outside in parking lot, a couple guys laughing about something in the hallway, someone’s leg shaking out of restlessness in the front row.
Medium: Royston talking about Expressionism, someone’s iPod (which they forgot to turn off) playing an undiscernible yet audible song from their bag, a row in front of me.
Closest: My chair squeaking (UGH), Anna and Kelly (both sitting next to me) trying to giggle as quietly as possible, Paige’s pen writing on paper.
Royston’s voice remained at a consistent level, and all the surrounding noises fluctuated from nearly silent to about half the volume of Royston.
