5. The sound was fairly loud, however, it was muffled because all the sounds occurred either in another room or outside.  Most of the speaking was muffled, however, the TV and some conversation in the lounge were understandable, including the intro to Ru Paul’s drag race.

7. Three sounds I would say would be essential to the environment would be the TV playing, cars passing outside as well as people talking in the lounge, reacting to the TV show
