Laundry Room
I was standing in the laundry room, where both washers and dryers were going. There is a faint humming in the background and the most prominent noise is the clicking of most likely something metal inside the dryer. Though the sound is not as clear in this recording as it was in person, I hoped to capture the rhythmic feel that I got standing inside the laundry room.

Identify the location:
Barnes and Noble cafe.

Identify the sounds:
You can hear a squeak as the book cart rolls in the distance,then you hear someone’s cellphone ring.  You can hear a click on the trackpad of a laptop, and people talking in the background.  You can also hear indistinct music playing in the background.  Then typing on a lap top, which eventually becomes more rapid and dominates the recording.  Then you hear the squeak of the book cart again, then the beep of a headset, and an employee responding over his headset.
