The furthest sounds from my location were male and female voices ordering food and the door occasionally swooshing open or clamping shut.
A mid-range distance from me are sounds of more male and female voices, the ruffling of paper bags, and table percussion from hands and elbows.
The closest sounds to me are Conor Burke and Paolo Perez’s voices, the banging of tables, Crinkling of bags, ruffling of hamburger and fry boxes, and the slurping of drinks.
The general sound level for this sound environment could be described as moderately bustling
Percussive
