Farthest Sound- The wind outside my window, the sounds of cars driving along the Road by my house.
Medium Distance- My brother, his girlfriend, and one of my roommates playing music in the living room and hanging out. It sounds Semi 50’s inspired and its distant enough to be a fever dream.
Closest Distance- My own music lightly playing and the sound of my own self tapping on the key board.
Sound Description- Like its late summer in the Santa Cruz Bay Area in the 1950’s and mom and pop are playing music in the living room as they talk about their day… So a 1950’s fever dream.
Important Sounds- The music, my roommates voices, my key board

3. In a medium range of sound, I can hear some of my teammates talking and laughing with each other. Also, I can hear the frisbee either being caught or forcefully hitting the ground due to the wind, and the music as it is being played from a Bluetooth speaker.
4. The sounds closest to me include my footsteps when I am running up and down the field. I can hear my teammates as they are calling out plays to me. Furthermore, there are internal sounds present as I am constantly telling myself to keep my energy level up and to play at my best ability.
