Sound Journal #3
March 6th, 4:26PM, Shapiro Family Hall lobby.
Furthest: Heating system humming, very distant talking, echoes from the piano.
Medium: Footsteps walking towards outside, piano playing melodically.
Closest: Students talking, the double glass doors closing, fabric from my clothing moving.
Sound level varies extremely as the people who pass me talk loudly and their footsteps ring, contrasting with the light piano tunes and the echoing. The amount of sound activity is spirited as there is a strong contrast between low tones and high.
One Word Description: Spirited

- Piano playing melodically
- Students talking
- Footsteps
Journal #1
- 02/09/2023 – 4:22 PM – Emily Lowe Hall Drounge
- Far away: People talking in a classroom, a small beep, the sound of an air conditioner
- Medium: Footsteps (some going further and some coming closer), the entrance door slamming, a classroom door being shut
- Closest: The sound of me breathing due to congestion, someone taking a sip of their drink, typing, someone chewing
- The sound level started out quite loud, but it has now gone down to barely any sounds that aren’t the ones mentioned in #4. This is the same regarding the sound activity. Originally, it began with hearing #2 and #3 together, and those sounds faded away, which led me to hear #4. Therefore, the sound activity went from high to low.
- Descriptor: Bustling
- The essential sounds are: the faraway sound of people talking in a classroom, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of the entry door slamming.
