  1. March 26th- 5:28pm- World War 2 Memorial in Washington D.C. 
  2. The splashing of water as the ducks swim around in the reflecting pool close by, the fluttering of kites as crowds of people are flying them around the cherry blossoms
  3. Chatter of those walking into and out of the memorial, as well as the scraping of shoes against the concrete and gravel. 
  4. Sniffles of people taking in the memorial, camera clicks from those capturing photos. 
  5. Despite how many different sounds can be heard, it wasn’t loud at all. You would only be able to pin point these sounds if you were really listening for them. Other than these subtle sounds, it was very silent as people walked around taking in what was presented to them. 
  6. One word: tranquil 
  7. I would say the sounds needed to maintain the environment, would be the sniffles you heard from essentially all around you, as well as the flutter of the kites overhead, and the slight splashing of the ducks in the reflecting pool. All of these sounds were very soft and quiet as if they knew that any loudness of any sort would disrupt the emotionally charged peace in the air as people wandered through the memorial.
