Journal Entry #3
Posted on by

Time: 10:30 am

Place: Corner of Broadfield and Jane st

Close sounds: A mourning dove overhead, a squirrel rustling leaves across dry grass

Medium Sounds: a neighbor using an impact driver, music playing from my roommate’s window out onto the street (the heavy louder than the rest of the song)

Faraway sounds: Cars revving on Hempstead turnpike, planes overhead every once in a while, sirens, car horns honking, wind.

Sound Level: The majority of the sounds are low, bass-heavy hums, however the mourning dove is at a medium level, and the impact driver is very loud.

One Word Description: Rhythmic

Essential Sounds: Mourning dove, impact driver, cars on the turnpike, and roommate’s music.

Time: 2/19/26, 12:30pm

Place: Bits & Bytes

Identifiable Sounds: A door to the far right that creaks when it closes, a smoothie blender blending what sounds like ice, layered conversations, laughter, a woman on the phone having a conversation in Spanish, beep of a scanner, tongs tapping against counter, crinkling of paper as it’s thrown away, typing on a laptop keyboard, footsteps passing by every so often, foosteps upstairs making a low thud, metallic clinking as backpacks are picked up, backpacks zipping closed or open, keys jingling as people step.

Distant Sound: 

-Muffled students chanting and yelling, repeating “Yah!” and “What?” over and over again. 

-Door to the outside being opened and closed, when it’s opened you can hear wind outside. 

-Muffled footsteps upstairs

General Sound:

-A low, quiet and looping whir of the boiler room.

-At times the boiler starts to pitch up, rattling rather than whirring.

Closest Sound:

-A student typing nearby and eating

-Occasional professor speaking to the student. 

-Jingle of keys walking past.
