- 2/10/17 8:45AM Student Center 2nd floor next to the hair salon
- An ominous buzz from industrial kitchen equipment, someone taking out the trash, the ladies at Sbarro’s making food, an espresso machine, the speak of wheels from some sort of cart.
- Boots hitting the ground, various chattering, this beeping noise when people use the kiosks, people grabbing utensils, the rumbling of the cart
- People passing behind me, the opening and closing of the bathroom door behind me, me typing on the keyboard.
- General sound level is low. There’s a moderate level of activity but most of it is very quiet to begin with.
- Subdued
- Light chatter, the ominouus buzz, people passing by

5- Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.
Per usual, HofUSA is very busy at this time of night. Because of this, the sound level is very high. The sound activity is also very high, as there are so many different and varied noises being made.
6- Assign a one word description to the “sound environment”.
Hopping
7- Select and list 3 sounds which are essential to the sound environment. Note: you need to try and figure out what sounds make up this environment and which of those sounds need to be there for the feeling of the environment to stay intact.

1. 3/27/2014, 10:24, Student Center Cafe
2. Identify the sounds farthest from you: Kids on the balcony fooling around, The Sbarro chefs preparing the pizza for the night, muffled music playing from speakers in the atrium, a door opening and slamming shut on the floor above.
3. Identify the sounds at medium range: The people at the table next to me, discussing the latest fashion, the girl two seats over tapping on her computer, the person at the table over tapping their fingers really loudly.
4. Identify the sounds closest to you: Emily crunching her water bottle, and playing with her phone case, Christina and Emily discussing something quite loudly, Christina fiddling with her keys. The girl directly next to me crunching on some potato chips, opera music suddenly blaring from the tv.
5. General sound level and activity: Even though there are not many people in here, the Student Center is still very active. The sound activity is very busy, and there is a wide variety of sounds around me. The noise level is high, but not unbearable
6. One word to describe the sound environment: Active
7. 3 essential sounds to the sound environment:
The TV blaring
Sbarro’s chef’s knife slamming against the cutting board
The potato chips crunching (one of my pet peeves)
