  2. The farthest sound from me is the sizzling of the food cooking on the grill and the sound of a grill scraper scraping the grill.
  3. In the medium range of sound, I can hear the smoothie machine rumbling and making a loud noise when being operated by someone. I can also hear a bunch of people talking to each other in a friendly manner.
  4. The closest sound from me is me chewing on my sandwich and smacking the food in my mouth. I can also hear my foot banging on the rim of the chair.
  5. The general sound level is definitely more loud than quiet due to the capacity of people inside the establishment. There is a lot of sound activity in every corner of the area with people talking and moving everywhere.

1. Date: 1/30/20 – Time: 7:11pm – Location: Intramural Fields

2. Farthest away from me, I can hear groups of students chatting with each other as they are walking past the fields. I can hear the engines of the cars passing by from time to time, as they slow down to adhere to the stop sign and the speed bump. Also, the women’s Ultimate Frisbee team is on the other field practicing. I can hear them yell the plays to each other, and laugh and chat with each other during their “water breaks”.

3. In a more medium range of sound, I can hear my Ultimate Frisbee teammates stomping on the ground and breathing somewhat heavy, since we are completing the mile portion of our Fitness Test. I can also hear our coach assisting us with supportive words as we complete this activity, as well as him yelling out the time updates.

4. The sounds closest to me include my own feet stomping on the ground and my own heavy breathing. I can hear the certain sounds that teammates very close to me are making, such as grunts and moans. Internal sounds involve me motivating myself with supportive words in order to finish the run.

5. The general sound level is more quiet than it was loud. Although there are a lot of sound activity being produced on the field in general, my teammates are spaced apart due to their different run speeds. 

6. One word to describe the “sound environment” is “peaceful”.

7. Three sounds that are essential to the “sound environment” are the stomps on the ground, the supportive words that our coach provides for us, and the motivational words that I provide myself internally as I get closer to finishing the run.

1/27/20 – 11:29A.M. – Pride Den

In the distance is the sound of a dull air conditioner blowing in the opposite side of the room, along with the sound of doors opening and closing as people enter and exit the room. At medium range, I hear the sound of groups of people talking to each other. Some are gossiping while some are quietly studying together. There is someone playing video games and loudly pressing buttons on a controller. Also, there are people getting into and getting out of chairs. Closest to me, there is a quiet hum from a television that is silently displaying announcement messages, along with a group that is loudly enthusing about video games and partying. The general sound level is constantly fluctuating with the many different conversations going on in the area. It constantly fluctuates between nearly silent and roaring. I would describe the sound environment as “social” because of the many conversations going on. The essential sounds that make this up are the sounds of the doors opening and closing, people getting constantly getting in and out of chairs, and the constant chatter of people talking. These all demonstrate how active the area appears to be.
