3/29/24 – 10:10 PM – My dorm room

Sounds farthest away from me: My friends talking in the other room, cars driving by, someone talking loudly outside

Sounds at a medium range from me: My fan, a door opening and closing in the other room

Sounds closest to me: The podcast I’m listening to, my keyboard clacking, my bracelets jangling

Sound level and activity: the sound level and activity are both low – my fan and podcast are on a lower volume, everything else is in the background. Also, everyone is winding down for the day, so there isn’t as much movement and activity within my dorm.

One word description: Chill

Three sounds essential to the sound environment: The podcast, my fan, my bracelets

2/23/24 – 11:33 pm – my friends dorm
Farthest Sound – the farthest sound from me is the cars racing down Oak Street, honking at other cars that are going “too slow”
Medium Sound – the sound that is in medium distance from my friend’s air purifier, a white noise background noise if you will
Closest Sound – the closest sound from me is my besties ranting about the newest tea in around campus and a song playing on my friend’s tiktok
The sound level – the sound level continues to vary like the shape of a wave due to the people around me getting really into what they are explaining
One word – drama
Essential sounds – talking, white noise, honking, cars driving quite fast
