3/30/24 – 4:54 PM – my kitchen

sounds farthest away from me: my roommates talking in the other room, someone rustling around

sounds at a medium range from me: roommate banging on a table, footsteps in the hallway

sounds closest to me: crunching chips, laughing at my roommate banging on a table, sniffles

sound level and activity: the sound level varies. In some moments, it’s very low, but the chip crunching and roommates making noises around the house brings the level up pretty high at some points. The activity is high.

description: abrupt

essential sounds: crunching, banging on the table, laughter

Sound closest to me: Tori Amos’ To the Fair Motormaids of Japan in my airpods, keyboard clacking

Sound in medium distance: cat toy jingling, cat meowing at her toy

Furthest sound: cars outside

Overall, it is pretty peaceful here and very calm. It is just me, Tori Amos, and the cat. And her stupid toy.

Three essential sounds: Song, cat, toy

One word: soothing
