Journal Entry #1 – Barone
- Date: 2/4/20 – Time: 1:00pm – Location: Bits ‘n Bytes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- One word to describe the “sound environment” is noisy.
- 3 sounds that are essential to the “sound environment” is the sizzling of food being made, groups of people talking and laughing, and me eating my food.
