TIME: 7:30pm 

LOCATION of the sound environment: AKT Manhasset (Fitness Dance studio where I work) 

• Identify and list the sounds farthest away from you.

The farthest sound that I was able to hear was the noise of the car’s wheels sliding on the street. I had not paid attention to it before, but because the studio is so close to the main street it is so easy and possible to hear  how fast the cars are going. It was amazing to stop for a second specially with how fast my job is and just to hear what was around me. It definitely calmed me down and gave me peace before my next class. The other sounds were the closing and opening of the main door which is relatively far from the studio and people talking outside. 

• Identify and list the sounds at a medium range from you. 

Medium sounds were the sliding of the AKT clothes hanging on the front shop as clients looked at them. I was also able to hear when they grabbed wipes to clean the boxes and weights, and their footsteps as they came into the studio. 

• Identify and list the sounds closest to you (You can include internal sounds if noticed or relevant).

Sound of the clients’ bags hitting the floor, music from the speakers, the fans, small talk from clients, sound of clients hanging the bands that we use for the workouts on the ceiling, sound of the weights, celebration noises, steps when running or jumping onto the boxes, feedback from the microphone. 

• Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.

Sound level outside was low, inside was sometimes loud and then it would go low and medium level. The amount of sound activity was a lot since there was a lot going on.
