Location: Netherlands North, Hague House, 1/30/20, 7:33 PM

Farthest: Car’s driving by in the distance on oak street, the wind slightly blowing and making the trees outside my window rattle and shake, a plane flying overhead.

Medium: The buzzing of the two fridges in my living room, not much at this range tonight. For once Hague is relatively quiet. 

Closest: My roommate chewing on Swedish fish and playing solitaire on her computer, so there’s some quite clicks every few minutes.

General Sound Level: Quite with a few hints of sound here and there, the loudest thing is my roommate and even that isn’t very loud. Its a calm quite thruway night. 

Description of Sound: Calming

Essential Sounds: my roommate typing, the fridge, the cars outside

  2. Cars passing by outside.
  3. Housemates talking downstairs, footsteps, cupboards opening/closing, sink running.
  4. Clock ticking, fridge running. 
  5. The sound level is quite low and overall isolated.  It’s quiet enough that I feel calm and relaxed.  The amount of sound activity is not overwhelming because I can focus on each specific sound and they don’t clash.
