Date: March 14

Location and Time: Hempstead, NY, Campus at 8:20 am

Far Sounds: giggling in the distance, car speeding by, trash truck brakes squealing

Medium Sounds: public safety walkie talkie going off, wind rustling the trees

Close Sounds: my footsteps on the pavement, my backpack rustling against my coat, birds chirping

Sound Description/Level: it sounds like an early morning. Everything is waking up and getting ready to start the day. Cars haven’t arrived yet and not many students have come to campus. 

One Word: quiet
