1. 2/1/18-5:30-My bedroom

2. A train horn in the distance, a plane overhead, a dog barking, a car passing the house, the wind rustling the branches of trees.

3. My doorbell, my puppies (Hershey and Oreo) barking, the pitter patter of their feet, my sister complaining about high school drama and social drama.

4. My stomach rumbling, my phone vibrating, my foot moving rapidly (ADHD), the crinkle of my sheets on my bed.

5. Very quiet and infrequent, I sat in my room silent for 5 minutes eyes closed and struggled to hear a lot of sound.

6. Tranquil

7. My dogs, the trees, and my sheets crinkling.

Au Bon Pain 6 pm April 29, 2014

Sounds farthest away:

  • Rain pounding on the pavement and the roof
  • Door opening to the outside
  • Katy Perry on the radio

Sounds at medium range:

  • Sandwich ladies chatting.
  • Someone being rung up at the register
  • Someone getting ice from the fountain drink machine

Sounds at close range

  • Couple arguing next to me
  • Someone pushing past me to get to the soup

General sound level:

The room is a comfortable volume. Not as loud as it usually is, and not as crowded so it is much more tolerable than usual.

One word description:

Impatient

Three important sounds:

  • Music
  • Sandwich ladies
  • Couple arguing
