Farthest Sound- The dripping of rain from the gutters on the roof, and of the rain falling down into the drain, a large truck just passed by as well as a plane.

Medium Distance- Students walking back into their dorm, there is a path right next to my. window that people tend to use quite often.

Closest Distance- The rap tap tapping of my key board, as well as the pop pop popping of my highly messed up back/spine. 

General Sound Level- a good sound level to work comfortably in, not to loud but not deathly quite either.

Sound Description- Quite… Perhaps too quiet… 

Important Sounds- Rain dripping and hitting the ground, cars going vroom on the street, my typing as I’m writing this, and students walking outside.
