Location: The couch in my bedroom, facing the open door toward the living room
Farthest: An airplane flying overhead, a car driving by, Anna playing music in her room far down the hallway behind her closed door, Anna’s metal garland pattering against her door as it swings open
Medium: Andrew’s loud footsteps as he walks between his room and the kitchen across the wood floor in the hallway, Andrew rolling a suitcase across the kitchen tiles, the low hum of the refrigerator, Anna sneezing, Andrew saying bless you
Closest: Andrew’s door slowly creaking open, his metal sign hitting the door as it closes, my stomach grumbling
General sound level: There is a low but constant noise as the baseline in this environment, especially with the music playing; it feels like there is a chaos contained to the point where it feels calm from the outside
Sound environment: Contained
Defining sounds: Andrew’s footsteps across the hallway floor, the music playing behind Anna’s closed door, the suitcase rolling over the tiles
Location: Room in Constitution Hall (Chloe’s room)
Sounds Heard:
- People talking in the hallway
- Chloe talking out into the hallway from the doorway
- Anna adjusting in the bean bag chair
- Anna shaking her drink up vigorously
- Anna putting the drink down on the hard floor
- Anna playing with the pop socket on the back of her phone

Location: My house’s upstairs living room, on the couch facing the front of the house
Farthest: Car engines revving, a slow siren, a motorcycle revving, a car horn
Medium: Downstairs washing machine spinning and clanking (getting louder, speeding up, then stopping, repeatedly), cars driving past the window in front of me, kids shouting in front of the house, the downstairs’ door keypad being entered, the door opening and hitting the wall, a person downstairs walking into the kitchen and then turning on the kitchen sink
Closest: My phone vibrating against the couch, my Fitbit vibrating, the refrigerator humming loudly for spurts of time
General sound level: The environment feels cyclical, with bursts of sound coming in and out, before coming back into a stillness, and then repeating
Sound environment: Unsettled
Defining sounds: The washing machine clanking, the refrigerator humming loudly, and the cars driving by the front window
