- Sounds at Medium range: Cars driving past my house and down the street, The sound of my storm door banging against the porch railing due to wind, my roommate typing down the hall, sound of garbage being thrown in the dumpster of Popeyes, woman talking on the phone on the sidewalk.
- Sounds closest to me: Me typing on the computer, the sound of me sipping my tea, phone buzz notification, me breathing, my knees popping, the chair shifting under my weight.
- Around me in the house, the sound is very quiet. There is, however, a lot of loud sounds in the distance, mainly due to the cars and busy roads. By the time those sounds get to my ear, they are dampened and muffled.
- “Secluded”
- Cars going by on the turnpike, me breathing, me sipping tea

Journal Entry 2
Date: February 22 – 2:00pm
Location: My Backyard
Far Sounds: bell tolling, planes flying by overhead, incomprehensible music from a car radio down the street.
Medium Sounds: car honking, truck rumbling past, birds calling to one another, cars whooshing by, icy sleet falling.
Close Sounds: keyboard clicks, breathing in and out, sleet hitting the ground, chairs, tables nearby.
Sound Description/Level: as the sound of sleet intensifies, it brings the other sounds in and out of focus. The planes and cars increase in volume as they get closer, then gradually fade away. Every sound seems one-and-done, a little snippet of something new in the world before it disappears again into the wash of sleet falling.
One Word: transient
Most Important Sounds: sleet, cars driving past, bird calls.
