Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1. 3/25/12   In passenger’s seat, near Long Island City  3:00pm

2. The sounds farthest away from me are cars honking their horns and engines revving.

3. The sounds at a medium distance from me are the train passing by overhead and music playing from a car somewhere nearby.

4. The sounds closest to me are the radio playing and the GPS giving directions out loud.

5. The general sound level is loud and constant.

6. I would describe this sound environment as “urban”.

7. The three sounds essential to the sound environment are the train passing by, the cars honking horns, and the GPS.  They are related to traveling in an unknown urban area and sitting in loud, heavy traffic.
