Sounds Furthest from me – The wind blowing, cars outside driving by
Sounds medium from me – birds chirping outside loudly, talking outside from next door neighbors in the backyard
Sounds closest to me- my roommate opening their door next to mine and it slamming shut
Overall it is really peaceful and quiet and there is not much sound besides the temporary shutting of the doors and talking. The birds chirping feel like a light soundscape.
