1- 2/2/11- 12:19 p.m. – My Dorm Room

2-There is a faint noise of an airplane flying away outside and someone is using the shower down the hall.  There is a very very faint noise of people talking either in their dorm room or outside.  Every so often I hear the quiet beep of the elevator as it reaches each floor.

3-  I can hear the sounds of my roommate typing at his computer and the printer warming up.  The refrigerator and microwave unit produces a low hum as well as the air conditioning unit.  There is always some sort of tapping or scraping sound that comes from above our room.

4- My computer has a fan noise that is prominent when close to it.  My sniffling and coughing are very noticeable sounds as well as the typing that I am doing.  Another sound is the vibration from getting a text on my phone against my desk.

5-The general sound level is low but there is a lot of sound activity.

6- Calm

7- Typing, low humming sounds and the distant airplane.  I think of these as soft sounds that help create a calm environment.

1- Thursday, February 3rd, a friend’s apartment on Front Street.

2- Someone is coughing, and there are firetrucks in the far distance. I can also hear a clock ticking.

3- A dog is trying to open a door with her paw, someone is typing, and the wind is causing the house to creak. Occasionally someone gets up and moves around.
4- There is someone asleep next to me, and they are snoring, and occasionally muttering to themselves. I can hear my stomach growling.
5- It’s very quiet, there isn’t a great deal of noise going on, only the occasional movement of people in the apartment as they come and go to and from class.
6- It feels sleepy.
7- The clock ticking, the house creaking, and the person snoring would be essential to this environment.
