The sounds furthest from me are the chatter of distant male and female voices, clanking of silverwear, footsteps of many bustling waiters and waitresses and the doors to the kitchen opening and entrance occasionally opening and closing.
The sounds medium distance to me are the voices of children, adult male and female voices, the thumping of items being placed on tables.
The sounds closest to me are the voices of my parents and my brother, wet but almost silent sounds of chewing, my own chewing, silverware occasionaly scraping across plates, thumping of drinks being placed back on the table, ice cubes knocking around in my drink, the fizz of carbanation from my sparkling water.
The general sound level is moderate and the amount of sound activity could be described as full and in perpetual motion with so many various sounds going in and out of ear shot quickly and consistantly.
The sound enviroment could be described as “lively.”
Three sounds necessary for this enviroment are male and female voices, the wet alomst silent sound of chewing, and the scratching of silverware cutting through food and onto plates.
