Location: The couch in my bedroom, facing the open door toward the living room
Farthest: An airplane flying overhead, a car driving by, Anna playing music in her room far down the hallway behind her closed door, Anna’s metal garland pattering against her door as it swings open
Medium: Andrew’s loud footsteps as he walks between his room and the kitchen across the wood floor in the hallway, Andrew rolling a suitcase across the kitchen tiles, the low hum of the refrigerator, Anna sneezing, Andrew saying bless you
Closest: Andrew’s door slowly creaking open, his metal sign hitting the door as it closes, my stomach grumbling
General sound level: There is a low but constant noise as the baseline in this environment, especially with the music playing; it feels like there is a chaos contained to the point where it feels calm from the outside
Sound environment: Contained
Defining sounds: Andrew’s footsteps across the hallway floor, the music playing behind Anna’s closed door, the suitcase rolling over the tiles

Journal Entry #1
- January 29th, 2020 @ 4:52pm in my bedroom.
- Cars passing by outside.
- Housemates talking downstairs, footsteps, cupboards opening/closing, sink running.
- Clock ticking, fridge running.
- 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.
- Peaceful.
- Clock ticking, fridge running, and distant voices.
