1- Happy Pi Day!

03/14/2013-12:03 AM-The living room of my house.

2- Sounds farthest away from you: The tinny sound of a housemate drying her hair upstairs.

3-Medium range: The opening and slamming of the refrigerator door, cars occasionally driving by outside; I can imagine the different sizes of the cars based on the different pitches they emanate. A low and deep sound reminds me of a large jeep, a higher thinner sound of a smaller vehicle like a Camry.  Someone washing dishes in the sink, dumping out water from cups.

4- Sounds closest to you: Five lively housemates talking and eating pie.  Sounds vary from loud talking and laughter, sometimes whispering for emphasis, my typing on the computer.

5- General sound level and amount of sound activity: Very high sound level and amount of sound activity but not in an intimidating or aggravating way. Sounds are coming in from all directions at all different volumes but it is a warm and welcoming envelopment.

6- One word description to the “sound environment”: Youthful.

7- 3 sounds essential to the sound environment: Talking, laughter, hair dryer.

Listen to

Location: Breslin Hall, Royston’s Modern Drama class 3/29/12   2:19pm

Sounds heard: Everyone is talking very loudly about our midterm that we are about to have, discussing what will be on it or what info we need to know.  This goes on at this sound level for a while, then you hear people start to quiet down as Royston walks in, and someone asks about our research paper. He answers that we will talk about it on Tuesday.

– My own voice, the sound that ice coffee makes when you swirl it around and there’s some ice still at the bottom.

5- Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.

– The sound level is very intense – there is a lot of sound so altogether everything sounds muffled – except when you walk past a store sometimes you can hear the specific music – for example the music in Express which is played way too loud – once we entered the store we had to pretty much scream to communicate. Sound gets drowned out in the mall because the ceilings are really high so everything just goes into an abyss.

6- Assign a one word description to the “sound environment”.

– Multitasking

7- Select and list 3 sounds which are essential to the sound environment.
