2. Farthest: kitchen utensils clanking, carts rolling, people talking loudly
3. Medium far: a dogs tag jingling, its nails clacking on the ground, snorting like a pig (it was a little bulldog of some sort)
4. Closest: someone watching a video loudly, chairs and backpacks shuffling, fingers tapping on keyboards of laptops.
5. Overall, the sound heard was minimal. It wasn’t a particularly busy time at bits. Small conversations close by at a medium volume, were the majority of the noise. All the chatter collected to create a white noise.
