Medium Sounds: AC/Patching station, fans going

Most Important Sounds: People talking, people typing/working at computers
Date: 4/27 at 7:28 PM
Location: table on the quad outside Roosevelt Hall
Far Sounds: laughing, door opening and shutting across the quad, mourning dove cooing, cars driving by on nearby streets.
Medium Sounds: more mourning doves responding, outdoor AC units/fans, two birds fighting (wings flapping, chirping), loud car honk.
Close Sounds: two people walking by (footsteps, talking), chewing, leaves rustling, squirrels climbing the tree overhead.
Sound Description/Level: the AC units gave the sound on the quad a mechanical quality that would otherwise be absent in that setting. The bird calls were plentiful and coming from all directions, which gave it an almost fantastical feeling.

Most Important Sounds: mourning doves cooing, birds fighting, rustling leaves
Date/Time/Location: April 26th, 3:09PM, ITS Service Desk offices.
Furthest: Distant cars and trucks racing on Hempstead Turnpike, birds chirping.
Medium: Boss yelling in outrage about technology, coworker writing with pen on paper, clothing shifting, chair squeaking slightly.
Closest: Hum of desktop computers, my chair spinning, keyboard clicking, phone buzzing from notifications.
Sound level is pretty null, as the office itself is mostly quiet with some very minute sounds from the machines and people here and there. My boss raising his voice outside and the cars zooming by are the only things that disrupt this peace. The amount of sound activity lies in a small range despite these interruptions in sound.
One Word Description: Uneasy.
