Journal Entry #6

April 28th, 10:33pm – my dorm with the door cracked

Farthest Away: Car vrooming down a street (barely audible), Plane flying overhead

Medium Range: Toilet Flushing, The sound of my roommate’s phone playing a tv show, the paper towel dispenser on the other side of my wall

Closest: Hum of the refrigerator, My roommate moving around the dorm packing, My roommate opening and closing her drawers

Sound Level: A medium level excluding farthest away sounds. Medium and Close range were often in a battle trying to be heard over the other.

Sound Activity: Inconsistent. It often felt like once one sound came in, they all tried to happen at once, then once one stopped they all stopped. My roommate was also not consistently moving around, she would stop in a spot to contemplate what she wanted to pack. Also, there wasn’t a person in the bathroom who was consistently dispensing paper towels.

Description: Active

Essential Sounds:

  • Roommate moving around the room
  • Paper towel dispenser
  • Plane flying overhead
