1) 2/17/11-3:00 p.m.-Honors College Lounge on the 2nd Floor of the Axinn Library

2) Secretary typing and clicking her computer mouse, sigh from person walking by the lounge, printer printing paper, indistinguishable talking in a personal office, and hum from the ventilation were the furthest audible sounds from my position.

3) The sound of people unwrapping candy and chewing, a newspaper rustling, talking, water pouring into glass from a blue water cooler, and shoes clicking would qualify as medium range sounds.

4) My pen clicking, seltzer water fizzing, and my own breathing would be considered sounds closest to me.

5) The sound level was fairly quiet, but the sound activity was high. The sounds I heard were not very loud, but sounds were coming from all over the lounge from many different sources.

6) Pleasant

7) Secretary typing, unwrapping candy, and newspaper rustling.
