Journal Entry #3

1 – Thursday March 5th, 7pm, Hofstra Fitness Center basketball courts.

2 – Furthest away from me is the air conditioning, sounds of treadmills and stair masters, and the TVs playing ESPN

3 – Medium range sounds are people walking and talking on the jogging path, the music of a bluetooth speaker across the courts, and water bottles on the sidelines popping open

4 – Closest to me are all the sounds of a basketball game. The ball being dribbled, hitting the backboard and going through the net, sneakers squeaking on the floor, and the trash talk going on between players.

5 – Sound level is high, lots of different people in the busy place makes a very complex sound palate.

6 – “Intense”

7 – The 3 essential sounds to me are the ball dribbling, Shoes squeaking, and the background music.

Thursday Game Night

  1. 2/2/17 7:20pm at the Mack Sports Complex
  2. General hum and cheer of the crowd, the squeaking of basketball shoes, the  announcer over the loudspeaker, clapping from home team bench and from other side of the arena.
  3. The pep band, opposing team’s coach’s voice, clapping from away team bench, seats clanking, cheer team chants, swoosh of ball when it goes through the hoop.
  4. Footsteps of people going up and down the aisle, chatter that is more coherent, click of the people behind me taking pictures, the ball being dribbled.
  5. Pretty noisy with lots of activity
  6. Lively
  7. Crowd cheering, basketball shoes squeaking, ball bouncing.

4)      Footsteps on the grass, people’s voices (arguing and swearing at each other due to the game), the wind whistling

5)      It’s a medium noise level, active, but still quiet enough to relax

6)      Chill

7)      People running on the basketball court, the wind, the people’s voices
