Sounds Heard: Me placing my phone on the table, Tearing off my coffee cup holder, Christina picking up her keys, varied students talking in the background, Christina seasoning her food, someone sneezing, Emily trying to ruin my recording by tapping her phone

2. Identify the sounds farthest from you: Kids on the balcony fooling around, The Sbarro chefs preparing the pizza for the night, muffled music playing from speakers in the atrium, a door opening and slamming shut on the floor above.
3. Identify the sounds at medium range: The people at the table next to me, discussing the latest fashion, the girl two seats over tapping on her computer, the person at the table over tapping their fingers really loudly.
4. Identify the sounds closest to you: Emily crunching her water bottle, and playing with her phone case, Christina and Emily discussing something quite loudly, Christina fiddling with her keys. The girl directly next to me crunching on some potato chips, opera music suddenly blaring from the tv.
5. General sound level and activity: Even though there are not many people in here, the Student Center is still very active. The sound activity is very busy, and there is a wide variety of sounds around me. The noise level is high, but not unbearable
6. One word to describe the sound environment: Active
7. 3 essential sounds to the sound environment:
The TV blaring
Sbarro’s chef’s knife slamming against the cutting board
The potato chips crunching (one of my pet peeves)
